Abstract

We propose a new type of revocation scheme for efficient public-key black-box traitor tracing. Our revocation scheme is flexible in the sense that any number of subscribers can be revoked in each distribution under an assumption that the number of revoked subscribers who collude in one coalition is limited to a threshold, while the maximum number of revoked ones cannot be changed in previous schemes. The flexibility in revocation is significant since flexible revocation can be integrated with efficient black-box tracing and this integration can be achieved without a substantial increase in the transmission overhead over the previous schemes. In this paper, we present an efficient public-key revocable and black-box-traceable scheme by combining flexible revocation with two known black-box-tracing algorithms.
