11th Information Hiding
Call for Papers
Darmstadt, Germany, June 7-10, 2009
Submissions due: February 1, 2009

!! The submission site is now open !!

For many years, Information Hiding has captured the imagination of
researchers: Digital watermarking and steganography protect information,
conceal secrets or are used as core primitives in Digital Rights
Management schemes; steganalysis and digital forensics pose important
challenges to investigators; and information hiding plays an important
role in anonymous communication systems. These are but a small number
of related topics and issues. Current research themes include:

- Anonymous communication and privacy
- Low probability of intercept communications
- Digital forensics
- Covert/subliminal channels
- Steganography and steganalysis
- Watermarking algorithms and applications
- Security aspects of watermarking
- Novel data hiding domains
- Multimedia and document security
- Novel applications of information hiding

Interested parties are invited to submit novel papers on research and
practice which are related to the above areas of interest. Claims
about information hiding technology, such as robustness or
steganographic security, must be backed by strong evidence in the
paper (such as mathematical proofs, statistical modeling or extensive
testing). Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Submissions should follow the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should be no more
than 15 pages including the bibliography and well-marked
appendices. Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published
by Springer in the LNCS series. Authors can submit their manuscripts
on-line on the conference website where detailed instructions are
provided. The submitted papers should be anonymized avoiding obvious
references.
