Abstract

The work studies the problem of copyright protection of software using cryptographic fingerprinting. The identity of software must be unique for each copy. There are two classes of identities: one is based on equivalent variants of the program and the other applies behaviour of the software as its identity. For these two types of identity, we introduce two different fingerprint schemes. The two schemes use digital signatures and can be easily combined and extended to be resilient against partial fingerprint destruction.
