In this paper, we discuss collusion-secure traceability codes for digital fingerprinting which is a technique for copyright protection of digital contents. We first state a generalization of conventional collusion attacks where illicit users of a digital content collude to create an illegal digital content. Then we propose a collusion-secure traceability code which can detect at least one collu...

Despite the wealth of data on RNA secondary structure, conformational dynamics and tertiary structure in vitro and in vivo, predicting RNA biological activity in cellular environments remains difficult. Here, we present a comparison between in silico RNA fingerprinting and published experimental data that sheds light on efficient design of the hammerhead ribozyme molecules with a high intracell...

evaluation of genetic diversity is a considerable approach to screen within indigenous rhizobial population for compatible, highly effective strains, which can be further utilized as rhizobial inoculums. genetic diversity of rhizobium isolates from three clover species grown in soil samples of seven different geographical regions in iran was investigated by repetitive extra genomic palindromic ...

due to difficulties in the application of traditional methods for identifying sediment sources, fingerprinting techniques, based on physical, chemical and organic properties of sediment and source materials, are increasingly being used as a valuable and effective alternative approach to obtain such information. the first step in this method is using an appropriate combination of diagnostic prop...

sediment-related environmental problems pose a serious threat to sustainable land management in many developing countries, including iran. information regarding sediment sources represents a key requirement from the management perspective since identification of sediment sources is a precursor to the design of effective sediment management and control strategies. the fingerprinting approach has...

Collusion-Resistant Fingerprinting for Multimedia in a Broadcast Channel Environment. (December 2004) William Luh, B.A., University of Toronto Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Deepa Kundur Digital fingerprinting is a method by which a copyright owner can uniquely embed a buyer-dependent, inconspicuous serial number (representing the fingerprint) into every copy of digital data that is legally s...

The effect of applying the novel anti-collusion fingerprinting scheme on the knowledge obtained from numeric databases is elaborated in this paper. Here, how the classification statistics are affected after fingerprinting numeric datasets is depicted. Several different classifiers are used for the purpose. This technique is primary key independent and resilient to additive attack. It is found t...

Thwarting unlawful redistribution of information sold electronically is a major problem of information-based electronic commerce. Anonymous fingerprinting has appeared as a technique for copyright protection which is compatible with buyer anonymity in electronic transactions. However, the complexity of known algorithms for anonymous fingerprinting is too high for practical implementation on sta...
