(Apologies for multiple copies. Appreciated if you can forward to potentially interested persons) ============================================ 2008 International Workshop on Multimedia Security in Communication (MUSIC'08) In Conjunction with ChinaCom'08 Beijing, China, August 25 - 27, 2008 http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/MUSIC/ ================================================ The rapid development of communication techniques allows us to transmit more than text/binary data in real time. Due to unique characteristics of multimedia content, such as large data volumes, interactive operations, and requires real-time responses, the problems multimedia security need to address are different from text/binary data security. Furthermore, multimedia security is highly services- dependable. Different services require different methods for content transmission or distribution, paying, interaction, etc. This workshop aims to bring together research work covering various aspects of multimedia security in emerging services. The services may work in the following environment: Internet, mobile TV, IPTV, IMS, VoIP, P2P, sensor network, network convergence, etc. The paper may focus on architecture construction, algorithm designing or hardware implementation. Both review paper and technical paper are expected. This workshop solicits papers reporting recent unpublished works in the general area of multimedia security. The topics include but not limited to: Security threats to multimedia content in new services Security model for new services Lightweight multimedia encryption for services Information hiding in multimedia content Multimedia forensics Secure multimedia adaptation Multimedia copy tracking Multimedia content authentication Multimedia content filtering Secure payment for services Key management/distribution User authentication in services Biometric Security Intrusion detection/prevention Network filtering Secure set-top box Secure Smart Cards Secure SIM card Secure telecom/broadcast convergence Secure mobile/Internet convergence Interoperable DRM systems Conditional access systems Security protocols or standards Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks in multimedia application Submission ================================= The submission should be done according to the guidelines on http://www.chinacom.org/ . The revised or extended versions of the accepted and presented papers will be published in the special issue of International Journal of Security and Communication Network (SCN) http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/114299116/home or International Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS) (pending) http://www.jucs.org/jucs_info/aims.
