INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON Signal Processing in the EncryptEd Domain
               SPEED 2009
EPFL,Lausanne, Switzerland, September 10, 2009

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 
---------------------- 

Recent advances in digital signal processing enabled a number of new
services in various application domains, ranging from enhanced
multimedia content production and distribution to advanced healthcare
systems for continuous health monitoring and biometric signal
processing for access control, identity verification and
authentication. At the heart of these services lies the ability to
securely manipulate signals in order to satisfy security requirements
such as privacy, intellectual property, authenticity, and access
control. Classical solutions for secure manipulation
of signals build a secure layer on top of existing signal
processing modules, to protect them from leakage of private
information, assuming that the involved parties trust each other. In
an increasing number of applications, however, the classical security
model is no longer adequate since one or multiple of the parties
involved in the communication, distribution or processing of the data
may not be trusted. In those scenarios, the possibility of processing
signals in such a way that part of or all the information provided by
the various parties is kept secret would be of invaluable
importance. In the framework outlined before, SPEED 2009 aims to
disseminate the latest cutting-edge results in this research field and
to bring together interested actors from academia, industry, and
government.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Cryptographic primitives and protocols for signal processing operations
* Secure matching and analysis of signals
* Searching on encrypted signals
* Cryptographic techniques for real-valued or fuzzy data
* Privacy preserving protocols
* Secure watermark embedding and detection
* Next-generation secure content management
* Privacy through secure signal processing
* Transcoding of encrypted content
* Design and evaluation of encryption schemes specifically tailored 
  towards signals
