Abstract

We compare two popular tracing traitor schemes (1) using non-binary codes with identifiable parent property (IPP-codes) and (2) using family of sets with identifiable parent property. We establish a natural basis for comparing and show that the second approach is stronger than IPP-codes. We also establish a new lower bound on the cardinality of the family of sets with identifiable parent property.
