Asymmetric fingerprinting protocol for vector map based on homomorphic encryption

Most of the existing digital fingerprint algorithms for vector maps are symmetric fingerprint algorithms, and merchants may frame a legitimate buyer. An asymmetric fingerprinting protocol utilizing homomorphic encryption is proposed. First, the buyer encrypts his fingerprint. Then, this encrypted fingerprint and the merchant's fingerprint are embedded into an encrypted vector map by the merchant. Finally, the encrypted data with the fingerprints of both parties is distributed to buyers. The buyer can use his private key to decrypt the encrypted data and get the Non-encrypted data with the fingerprints. In this way, merchants can track illegal users without the buyer's fingerprint. Experimental results show that after various attacks, fingerprints can still be detected correctly.
