[WM]: CFP:International Workshop on Data Hiding for Information and Multimedia Security

[Chang-Tsun Li <ctli@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>]

2007 International Workshop on Data Hiding for Information and 
Multimedia Security
        http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~ctli/CFP_DHIMS2007.html

                        in conjunction with

The Third International Symposium on Information Assurance and Security 
(IAS'07)

                       August 29 - 31, 2007
                    Manchester, United Kingdom


As rapid and tremendous progress in information technology is constantly 
being made,
and, while an enormous amount of media such as text, audio, speech, 
music, image and
video can be easily exchanged through the Internet and other 
communication networks,
information security issues such as copyright protection, digital right 
management,
integrity verification, authentication, and access control have become 
exceptionally
acute. As a result, the subject of data hiding for information security 
and forensics
has been taken as one of the top research and development agendas for 
researchers,
organisations and governments worldwide. In addition, data hiding 
techniques have
also found applications in the areas of covert communication, 
image/video indexing,
medical image archiving and exchange, transmission error recovery and 
concealment,
image captioning, audio in video for language translation, etc.


Topics
---------
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

    * Digital watermarking
    * Fingerprinting / transaction tracking of multimedia
    * Steganography and steganalysis
    * Integrity verification and authentication
    * Data hiding for media annotation
    * Data hiding for transmission error recovery and concealment
    * Data hiding for medical image archiving and exchange
    * Tampering and attacks on original information
    * Quality metrics and benchmarking
    * System design and implementation
    * Digital rights management
    * Technical analysis of system vulnerabilities
    * Content identification and secure content delivery
    * Applications of information hiding in law enforcement, medicine, 
military,
      and E-commerce
