MM&SEC 2009

The 11th ACM workshop on Multimedia and Security will be held in Princeton, New Jersey, USA on September 7th and 8th of 2009.
OBJECTIVES

* Discussion of emerging technologies in digital multimedia authentication, encryption, identification, fingerprinting, steganography and steganalysis, secure multimedia networking and biometric user authentication.
* Identification of critical high impact research problems addressing specific deficiencies in the field of secure multimedia distribution and consumption.
* Formulation of target applications of identified technologies in both the commercial, civilian, and military sectors.
* Exposition of legal, business and technology policy issues relevant to multimedia security.

Scope

Papers addressing security in multimedia processing, transmission, and consumption are welcomed. Both theoretical concepts dealing with fundamental performance issues and application-oriented contributions within this scope will be considered. Software and hardware demonstrations are highly encouraged.
