Hello,

I present to you which might be a new concept/idea/method for detecting
traitors:

"Watermarking the password" or
"Watermarking the key"

Won't this procedure reduce the size of the key space by the number of bits required for the watermark?


They may simply have to go from 128 bit key variables to 256
bit key variables.
