Special Issue on Signal Processing for Data Hiding in Digital Media & Secure Content Delivery
June 2003
|
Advances in computing and communications technologies lead us to an era that digital information moves almost freely where monitoring of its use is of a critical issue for content providers. The problem of secure distribution of digital content is increasingly important particularly in high speed Internet. The secure delivery of multimedia requires enhanced formats for digital content, improved transportation protocols, quality of service (QoS) monitoring and new billing methods, and smart multimedia players.
There has been a flurry of research activities in Signal Processing, Multimedia and other technical communities mostly dealing with design of watermarking algorithms for audio, image and video applications for the last few years. In parallel, several standards bodies including SDMI, MPEG have taken serious initiatives to define intellectual property management and protection (IPMP) solutions for digital audio and video industries.
This special issue will focus on the theory and state-of-the-art applications of Secure Content Delivery and Data Hiding Techniques in Digital Signal Processing research. |
