>The objective of this 8th ACM Multimedia and Security Workshop is to
>identify the key issues to be
>addressed by future research in the are as of media manipulation
>recognition, media data
>authentication, and detection of hidden communication channels. We
>expect the workshop
>to help motivate this research and to establish fruitful relationships
>with the key actors
>from academia, industry, and government in the US and European and
Asian
>countries. It will
>consist of invited papers, full papers, short papers, and possibly a
>rump or a panel session.
>This event continues a successful series of workshops started in 1998.
>
>OBJECTIVES
>• Discussion of emerging technologies in digital multi-media
>authentication,
>identification, fingerprinting, and steganalysis
>
>• Identification of key research problems with the biggest impact on
>specified
>deficiencies in the field of secure multimedia distribution
>
>• Formulation of target applications of identified technologies (in
both
>the
>commercial and military sectors)
>
>• Discussion of legal issues connected to multimedia security, digital
>watermarking, and steganography
>
>SCOPE AND PAPERS
>
>Papers should address theoretical and practical issues of multimedia
>watermarking
>and steganography. We will consider both theoretical papers dealing
with
>fundamental
>issues and application oriented contributions (software and hardware
>demos are highly encouraged).
>
>Topics include but are not limited to:
>
>• Robust watermarking of multimedia
>• Authentication of multimedia
>• Informational-theoretical aspects of data hiding
>• Steganography and steganalysis
>• Forensic analysis of digital multimedia
>• Practical systems with aspects of data hiding
>• Watermarking quality evaluation and benchmarks
>• New applications, security issues, and legal aspects
>• Data hiding applications in biometrics: document security and per son
>authentication.
>
>In particular, the call for papers includes request for full papers
>with  high degree
>of innovations as well as short papers with interesting improvements of
>existing art
>or new ideas and research directions. Full papers should be 6–12 pages
>long, short
>papers 4–6 pages long (ACM format http://www.acm.org/sigmm/). Accepted
>papers will
>be published in ACM workshop proceedings. Submission Deadline April 20,
>2006 Authors
>are invited to submit, by email, full papers or short papers by
>indicating the type
>of the paper (full/short) in electronic format (PDF or PostScript) to
