Call for Papers for Special Issue: Circuits and Systems for Real-Time= Security and Copyright Protection of Multimedia
International Journal of Computers and Electrical Engineering (Elsevi= er
Ltd.)
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/description)
Guest Editor(s):
-- Saraju P. Mohanty, University of North Texas, email: smohanty@cse.unt.edu.
-- Nasir Memon, Polytechnic University, email: memon@poly.edu.
-- Karam S. Chatha, Arizona State University, email: kchatha@asu.edu.
Following the explosive growth of the Internet, concerns about protection and enforcement of IP rights of digital content
involved i= n transactions have been mounting. Easy unauthorized replication and= manipulation with inexpensive tools has
worsened the scenario. Due to= this, the movie/audio industry loses several billions of dollars ever= y year. Hence, DRM
(Digital Rights Management) systems are necessary fo= r establishing ownership rights, tracking usage, ensuring authorized=
access, preventing illegal replication, and facilitating content authentication. Such DRM systems may need various techniques
includin= g, encryption, watermarking, steganography, scrambling, digital certificates, secure communications protocols, etc.
In the last decad= e, significant research progress has been made to develop these techniqu= es which primarily work offline.
However, in case of emerging applicatio= ns, such as, digital television broadcasting, internet protocol televisio= n (IP-TV),
video on demand, pay-TV, electronic passport (e-passport),= credit cards, driving licenses, etc. security and copyright
protectio= n mechanisms have to work in real-time. Consequently, appliances, like= digital cameras, network processors,
mobile/video phones, graphics= processing units, DVD player, etc. need to be equipped with such mechanisms. In these
situations, software only solutions may not be= adequate to provide real-time performance, rather hardware assisted=
solutions is needed for easy integration with multimedia hardware,= low-power consumption, higher reliability/availability, and
low-cost= compared.
The guest editors invite original manuscripts addressing the above= challenges. The topics of research interest include, but
not limited to:
-- Real-time performance integrated circuits for DRM techniques.
-- Operating-system and (micro) architecture-level support for securi= ty and copyright protection.
-- Methods to integrate security and copyright protection mechanism i= n embedded architectures.
-- Building SoCs such as camera, mobile phones, network processors wi= th DRM technology.
-- Building media processors, graphics processing units with DRM tech= nology.
-- Techniques for secure multimedia broadcasting in wireless systems.
-- Security and copyright techniques for home entertainment, such as= IP-TV and digital TV, etc.
-- Techniques for real-time multimedia processing in encryption and/o= r watermarking domain.
-- Design of side-channel-resistant embedded systems to enable attack-proof DRM development.
-- Low-power DRM technology for portable appliances.
Submission Information: Manuscripts should be emailed to the guest= editors (smohanty@cse.unt.edu and memon@poly.edu and
kchatha@asu.edu)= as pdf files. The maximum page limit for a manuscript is 25 pages. The p= df file should be named using
last name of the first author followed by = a keyword from the paper title. For example, the filename for authors S= . Mohanty
and N. Memon submitting the paper titled: “On Watermarking= Technique’s Developments” would be Mohanty-Watermarking.
Guidelin= es for manuscript preparation can be found at:
