Special sessions on multimedia security and watermarking applications

Summary form only given. This series of special sessions examine multimedia security from both theoretical and applications-oriented perspectives. Our aim is to help advance security technology, assess its appropriateness for certain problems, and broaden its usefulness to intellectual property management. Based on the success of last year?s sessions, we hope to continue the tradition of providing an open and objective forum for multimedia security issues. This year, we will have 17 papers in these special sessions. Three of them are watermarking techniques in the printed format. Five papers cover novel imagehide0 watermarking techniques. Three theoretical analysis papers will be shown in these sessions. There will be two papers covering the attacks and benchmarking of watermarking methods. In addition to the image videos watermarking methods, there will be two novel audio watermarking, techniques and one graphic watermarking technique in these special sessions. We will also have one paper in the database system. The papers are briefly summarized.
