Special Session on Signal Processing Techniques for Information Hiding and
Protection
Inaugural IEEE International Digital EcoSystems and Technologies Conference
(IEEE-DEST 2007)
Cairns, Australia
21-23 February 2007
http://www.ieee-dest.curtin.edu.au/index.php

As rapid and tremendous progress in information technology is constantly
being
made, an enormous amount of media can be easily exchanged through Internet
and
other communication networks, information security issues such as copyright
protection, integrity verification and authentication, have become
unprecedentedly
acute. In the last decade, a variety of signal processing techniques for
information hiding and protection has been proposed to address these issues.
The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers working in
the
relevant areas to share their expertise and investigate new solutions to
advance the development of information hiding techniques. Prospective
participants
are invited to electronically submit papers (6 pages, about 4500 words, pdf
or
WinWord file) of their original work following the IEEE instructions
available
on http://www.ieee-dest.curtin.edu.au/submitForm.php. Each paper will
undergo
a rigorous peer reviewed process involving at least two reviewers.

Topics of this Special Session include but, not limited to, the following:
- Signal processing for steganography and steganalysis
- Signal processing for forensic analysis
- Signal processing for digital watermarking
- Fingerprinting / transaction tracking of multimedia
- Integrity verification
- Information hiding and media annotation
- Tampering and attacks on original information
- Quality metrics and benchmarking
- System design and implementation
