International Workshop on Signal Processing in the EncryptEd Domain

Lausanne, Switzerland, September 10, 2009

Co-located with  CHES 2009, www.chesworkshop.org

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 technological 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.
Submissions of papers exploring the application of signal processing  
to encrypted contents, both from a theoretical and practical point of  
view are solicited.

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
