Efficient Traitor Tracing Algorithms using List Decoding
Alice Silverberg
Ohio State University (currently visiting Xerox PARC and Stanford)
We give applications of algebraic coding theory to the problem
of fighting piracy. In particular, we show that the use of powerful,
recently discovered techniques for the list decoding of error-correcting
codes can give efficient traitor tracing algorithms. This is joint work
with Jessica Staddon and Judy Walker. The talk will not assume
any prior knowledge of coding theory or traitor tracing.
