The First International Symposium on Multimedia Security and Digital Forensics (MSDF 2017)
Guangzhou, China, December 12-15, 2017
http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/msdf2017

In Conjunction with SpaCCS 2017, The 10th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage
http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/SpaCCS2017
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multimedia security and digital forensics is an active research area considering the ever-expanding areas including social media and IoT. Digital forensics has become a challenging one as we need more tools that are less pervasive and intervening on well established social platforms. In the last decade a large number of multimedia security and forensic techniques have been proposed. However, most of these solutions adopt very limiting and simplifying working conditions and inappropriate for real-world deployment. The symposium on Multimedia Security and Digital Forensics (MSDF’17) will serve as a platform for researchers to share novel ideas, techniques and communicate with international peers.

The symposium will focus on the following subjects of interest, as well as related issues:
- Attacks on Visual Captchas
- Big Data Analysis for Forensics
- Bio-Inspired Multimedia Signal Processing
- Biometrics for Multimedia
- Compressed Sensing
- Content-Protection and Counter-Protection
- Counter Forensics
- Cryptography, Authentication, Authorization and Usage Control for Multimedia Big Data
- Cyber Crime Investigations
- Cyber Threat Analysis for Image and Video Data
- Data Hiding in Multimedia
- Data-Driven Multimedia Forensics and Security
- Digital Forensics and Law
- Digital Watermarking and Finger Printing
- Feature Extraction from Multimedia
- Forensic Data Fusion
- Forensics on IoT
- Hashing for Multimedia Identification
- Image and Video Collection Forensics
- Incident Response Related to Image and Video Data
- Multidimensional Visualization Systems of Multimedia Big Data on Clouds
- Multimedia Analysis
- Multimedia Content Authentication
- Multimedia Evidence Recovery and Validation
- Multimedia Forensics
- Multimedia Provenance
- Multimedia Source Device Identification
- Multimedia Web Service Security
- Near Copy Detection
- Privacy and Security of Social Network
- Secure Access to Enterprise Social Media and Shared Accounts
