2008'International Workshop on Information Hiding and Watermarking Call for papers

To be held in conjunction with the 2008'International Symposium on Electronic Commerce Security
Guangzhou, China, 3-5 August 2008

Call for Paper
Information hiding and watermarking is a important issue in information security field., it has become a vigorously growing research area since the middle of the last decade. The early work on watermarking was characterized by the development of a plethora of watermarking algorithms and attacks against them. The theoretical foundations of watermarking have since then been advanced rapidly, resulting in improved watermarking algorithms as well as more accurate models of the channel capacity and error rates. However, digital watermarking research still faces many challenges. In addition, new research directions such as data forensics and authentication enable new types of application scenarios.The workshop aims to provide a high quality forum for dissemination of research results.The Papers are solicited on all technical aspects of Information hiding and digital watermarking, including but not limited to the following topics:

Mathematical modeling of watermark embedding and detection
Information theoretic and stochastic aspects of data hiding
Security issues, including attack modeling and counter-attacks
Combination of data hiding and cryptography, and its applications
Optimum watermark detection and Reliable watermark recovery
Estimation of watermark capacity
Channel coding techniques for watermarking
Bounds on error probability
Large-scale experimental tests and benchmarking
New statistical and perceptual models of content
Reversible data hiding
Data hiding in special media
Data hiding and authentication
Steganography and steganalysis
Data forensics
Copyright protection and DRM
