INTRODUCTION

The objective of the 8th ACM Multimedia and Security Workshop is to identify the 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 the key actors from academia, industry, and government in the US and European and Asian countries (past workshops). It will consist of invited papers, full papers, short papers, and possibly a rump or a panel session. This event continues a successful series of workshops started in 1998.

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
SCOPE

  •  Robust watermarking of multimedia
  •  Informational-theoretical aspects of data hiding
  •  Forensic analysis of digital multimedia
  •  Watermarking quality evaluation and benchmarks
  •  Data hiding applications in biometrics: document security and person authentication
  •  Authentication of multimedia
  •  Steganography and steganalysis
  •  Practical systems with aspects of data hiding
  •  New applications, security issues, and legal aspects
Papers

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.
