Abstract

We propose a q-ary fingerprinting system for stored digital objects such as images, videos and audio clips. A fingerprint is a q-ary sequence. The object is divided into blocks and each symbol of the fingerprint is embedded into one block. Colluders construct a pirate object by assembling parts from their copies. They can also erase some of the marks or cut out part ofthe object resulting in a shortened fingerprint with some unreadable marks. We give constructions of codes that can identifyone of the colluders once a pirate object is found.
