Multimedia Security using Chaotic Maps: Principles & Methodologies

Introduction

Multimedia could be defined as a combination of different data types such as text, audio, image, and video. Every day, huge amount of data is transmitted through the internet and other open networks. Securing the transmitted data and preventing any misuse of it is a big challenge. Various security methodologies such as digital watermarking, data encryption, steganography, and data hiding are developed for securing multimedia data.
Digital watermarking used in copyright protection and securing multimedia data during their transmission through networked environment. Technically, digital watermarking aims to hide a small piece of digital data called a “digital watermark” into the actual digital media such as digital images, digital videos and digital audios without significance change of its normal usage. Data encryption or cryptographic methods encrypt the data at the sender side, transmit this data from the sender to receiver and then decrypt it at the receiver side. The primary objective of information hiding is successfully hiding a secrete data in a multimedia data without distorting the quality of the resultant multimedia. In image Steganography, the message image is hidden in a cover image and changes its properties where image Steganography provides a secret communication method which prevents hacker/attacker from detecting the presence of this message.
During the last decade, several remarkable methodologies were developed to improve the levels of multimedia security. Recently, Chaotic Maps are promising tool and successfully utilized in digital watermarking, data encryption, steganography, and data hiding techniques. The interest in using different kinds of Chaotic Maps and systems in multimedia security is steadily increase through the last few years where the number of published papers in archival journals and conference’ proceedings are monotonically increased. Although, according to the best knowledge of the author, no previously published book which covers the multimedia security using the Chaotic Maps. This motivates the idea of this call for book chapter under the title “Multimedia Security using Chaotic Maps: Principles & Methodologies”.
The book provides the readers a comprehensive overview of principles, methodologies and recent advances in Multimedia security using different Chaotic Maps through a collection of high-quality chapters. These chapters present original and previously unpublished works of famous researches from several countries dealing with different issues of multimedia security using Chaotic Maps.
This book is a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, IT specialists, developers, postgraduate students, and senior undergraduate students with majors in data security.
