SSME 2013 - Special Sessions on "Media encryption"

Multimedia applications are omnipresent in our daily lives. While creating and copying digital data using such applications has never been easier, privacy and security concerns arise in both, the private and the public domain. The encryption of multimedia data is one way of addressing these issues.
This special session covers the full spectrum of multimedia encryption, ranging from the encryption of different formats - images, video, 3-D graphics and others - and the assessment of their security to the transmission and management of the encrypted data. Furthermore, it aims at covering approaches which combine both, information hiding and multimedia encryption, which is one of the main objectives of the 1st ACM Workshop on Information Hiding and Multimedia Security of which this special session is a part.
