Recent Advances in Security and Privacy for Multimedia Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Multimedia systems are now widely used in various fields; accordingly, the importance of security and privacy is increasing. It is necessary to develop and apply effective and reliable technologies and methods with which to respond to various threats and attacks that may occur during the creation, transmission, storage, processing, and sharing of multimedia data.

To this end, various efforts are being made to advance technology. We invite researchers working in relevant areas to submit their latest manuscripts which either design new technologies or apply technologies in different multimedia technologies and security areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Technologies such as encryption, decryption, authentication, and integrity checking of multimedia data;
• Technologies such as anonymization, pseudonymization, and de-identification of multimedia data;
• Technologies such as steganography of multimedia data, digital watermarking and digital rights management;
• Technologies such as multimedia data breach detection, analysis, and response;
• Proposals for new models, frameworks and architectures for multimedia data security and privacy;
• Case studies and applications related to multimedia data security and privacy;
• Including research related to multimedia.

 Researchers interested in this Special Issue are invited to write and submit a paper.
