The naming is unfortunate because "fingerprinting codes" are already a well-studied concept in CS, for a related but apparently different purpose (see e.g. [1])

The naming is unfortunate because "fingerprinting codes" are already a well-studied concept in CS, for a related but apparently different purpose (see e.g. [1]). This paper does not seem to be peer-reviewed or published, and I don't think it explains its goals very clearly.

- maxbond 8y agoI also don't think it's appropriate for a cryptography paper to cite 4 articles about breaches and 0 articles about signing, and to mention the word "cryptography" 0 times and "signature" once. Seems like the author might realize that there's a body of work on this subject that they should engage with.
