At ACISP'02, H.J. Kim et al.[1] proposed a new traitor tracing scheme. However, this paper show that the proposed scheme is to be insecure by presenting a conspiracy attack. Using our attack, any two subscribers can collaborate to derive the secret key of the data supplier and tell or sell it to any body. Thus, the unauthorized user can always decrypt the encrypted session key with the decrypted session key. Also the two subscribers cannot be traced by the data supplier

Digital fingerprinting schemes are cryptographic methods that a seller can identify a traitor who illegally redistributed digital contents by embedding it into buyer's information. Recently, Josep Domingo-Ferrer suggested an anonymous digital fingerprinting scheme based on committed oblivious transfer protocol. It is significant in the sense that it is completely specified from a computation point of view and is thus readily implementable. But this scheme has the serious problem that it cannot provide the security of buyers. In this paper, we first show how to break the existing committed oblivious transfer-based fingerprinting schemes and then suggest secure fingerprinting scheme by introducing oblivious transfer protocol with two-lock cryptosystem based on discrete logarithm. All computations are performed efficiently and the security degree is strengthened in our proposal.

In this paper, we propose a new certified e-mail system which reduces user's computational overhead and distributes confidentiality of TTP(Trusted Third Partty). Based on the traditional cryptographic schemes and server-supported signiture for fairness and confidentiality of message, we intend to minimize to computation overhead of mobile device on public key algorithm. Therefore, our proposal becomes to be suitable for mail user sho uses mobile devices such as cellular phone and PDA. Moreover, the proposed system is fault-tolerant, secure against mobile adversary and conspiracy attack, since it is based on the threshold cryptography on server-side.
