[HGI-news-int] Information Hiding Conference

[English Newsletter of the Horst Gö rtz Institute of IT Security in Bochum]

11th Information Hiding Darmstadt, Germany, June 7-10, 2009

http://www.ih09.tu-darmstadt.de/

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

Continuing a successful series that brought together these closely linked
research areas, the 11th edition of Information Hiding will be held in
Darmstadt, Germany.
