CALL FOR PAPERS

13th INFORMATION HIDING CONFERENCE, MAY 18 - 20, 2011
Prague, Czech Republic

SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO January 31 2011.

For many years, Information Hiding has captured the imagination of researchers.
Digital watermarking and steganography protect information, conceal secrets or
are used as core primitives in digital rights management schemes. Steganalysis
and forensics pose important challenges to investigators; and privacy techniques
try to hide relational information such as the actors' identities in anonymous
communication systems. These and other topic share the notion that security is
defined by the difficulty to make (or avoid) inference on certain properties of
host data, which therefore has to be well understood and modeled.

Current research themes include:
* Anonymity and privacy
* Covert/subliminal channels
* Digital rights management
* Fingerprinting and embedding codes
* Multimedia and document security
* Multimedia forensics and counter forensics
* Novel applications of information hiding
* Other data hiding domains (e.g. text, software, etc.)
* Security metrics for information hiding
* Steganography and steganalysis
* Theoretical aspects of information hiding and detection
* Watermarking (algorithms, security, attacks)

Continuing a successful series that brought together experts in these closely
linked research areas, the

13th edition of Information Hiding will be held in Prague, Czech Republic.

Interested parties are invited to submit novel papers on research and practice
which are related to the above areas of interest. Claims about information hiding
technology, such as robustness or steganographic security, must be backed by strong
evidence in the paper (such as mathematical proofs, statistical modeling or
extensive testing).

Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that
are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions
should follow the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should be
no more than 15 pages including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Accepted
papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series. Authors
can submit their manuscripts on-line on the conference website where detailed instructions
are provided. The submitted papers should be anonymized avoiding obvious references.
