we obtain that with probability at least 1−ε/2 it holds that:

This completes the proof of claim 1.
Claim 2. We next claim that there is an s ∈ {1,...,N} for which it holds

Observe that there exists an s ∈{1,...,N} for which it holds |p

of claim 2.
By combining the two claims we obtain the statement of the lemma.
Following the above reasoning, we are, now, ready to prove that the
ME
L
is
a black-box traitor tracing scheme for which the corresponding tracing game
for n-coalitions is winnable by the tracer T
S
against any probabilistic poly-
nomial time adversarial algorithm A. As we have specified at the beginning
of this section, the tracer T
S
will queriy the special transmission of the form
Transmit
L
(ek,m) for s = 0,1,...,n where m is uniformly distributed.
Theorem 3.19. Consider a multiuser encryption scheme
ME
L
that employs a
symmetric encryption scheme that is ε
p
-insecure in the sense of Definition
2.5
.
For any n ∈ N, > 0, the scheme
ME
L
is a black box traitor tracing scheme
for n-coalitions with success probability 1−ε against resettable σ-pirates with
σ > 10nε

Proof. Consider an adversary A that is given access to the key material
{sk
j
}
j∈C
for some subset C ⊆ [n] where (tk,ek,sk
1
,...,sk
n
) is distributed
according to KeyDist
L
(1
n
).
The tracer T
S
will interact with A by submitting suitable queries. A query
for i ∈{0,...,n}. The tracer will reset the adversary after each query. Each
query q of type i together with the response a of A can be thought as an
experiment of type i. The experiment is said to be successful if
