Title:
An Attack on A Traitor Tracing Scheme
Authors: Jeff Jianxin Yan, Yongdong Wu
Abstract:In Crypto’99, Boneh and Franklin proposed a
public key traitor tracing scheme~\cite{Boneh},
which was believed to be able to catch all
traitors while not accusing any innocent users
(i.e., full-tracing and error-free). Assuming
that Decision Diffie-Hellman problem is
unsolvable in G_{q}, Boneh and Franklin
proved that a decoder cannot distinguish
valid ciphertexts from invalid ones that are
used for tracing. However, our novel pirate
decoder P_{3} manages to make some invalid
ciphertexts distinguishable without violating
their assumption, and it can also frame
innocent users to fool the tracer. Neither
the single-key nor arbitrary pirate tracing
algorithm presented in~\cite{Boneh} can
identify all keys used by P_{3} as claimed.
Instead, it is possible for both algorithms
to catch none of the traitors. We believe that
the construction of our novel pirate
also demonstrates a simple way to defeat some
other black-box traitor tracing schemes in
general.
