Introduction
The Multimedia and Security Workshop objective is to set a platform able
to identify key issues to be addressed by future research in the areas
of media manipulation recognition, media data authentication, and detection
of hidden communication channels. We expect the workshop to help motivate
this research and to establish fruitful relationships with key actors
in the European, US, and Asian countries.
Objectives
- Discussion of emerging technologies in digital multi-media authentication,
identification, fingerprinting, and steganalysis.
- Identification of key research problems with the biggest impact
on specified deficiencies in the field of multimedia security and
distribution
- Formulation of target applications of said technologies (in both
the commercial and military sector)
- Discussion of legal issues connected to multimedia security, digital
watermarking, and steganography
|
MISSION
The mission of the workshop is to bring together experienced researchers,
developers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and government
for a discussion of aspects and the impact of digital manipulations
and steganographic channels. The workshop reflects the strength and
weaknesses of what the multimedia community has to offer to meet the
needs of secure multimedia environments. Participants get an excellent
overview about what the community has to offer, where the improvements
are, and discuss ongoing progress as well as open research problems.
The workshop will consist of invited papers, submitted papers, panel
discussions, and a rump session.
SCOPE AND PAPERS
Papers should address fundamental issues of multimedia watermarking
and steganography. We will consider both theoretical papers dealing
with fundamental issues and application oriented contributions (software
and hardware demos highly encouraged). Topics include but are not limited
to:
- Robust watermarking of multimedia
- Authentication of multimedia
- Informational-theoretical aspects of data hiding
- Steganography and steganalysis
- Forensic analysis of digital multimedia
- Practical systems with aspects of data hiding
- Watermarking quality evaluations and benchmarks
- New applications, security issues and legal aspects
In particular, the call for papers includes request for full papers
with high degree of innovations as well as papers for the rump session
where we encourage people submitting papers that are interesting incremental
improvements of existing art or sufficiently motivated papers with new
ideas and research directions. Full papers should be 6–12 pages
long, rump session papers 4-6 pages long (ACM format http://www.acm.org/sigmm/).
Accepted papers will be published as ACM workshop proceedings.
