IWDW 2014 - 13th International Workshop on Digital-Forensics and Watermarking

The 13th IWDW, International Workshop on Digital-forensics and Watermarking (IWDW 2014) is a premier forum for researchers and practitioners working on novel research, development and applications of digital watermarking and forensics techniques for multimedia security. This year, IWDW 2014 is hosted by National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) and National Taipei College of Business in Taiwan on October 1-4, 2014.We invite submissions of high-quality original research papers. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Two prizes are to be awarded for the best paper and the best student paper, respectively. The proceedings of IWDW 2014 will be published on the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer. (Special issues based on IWDW 2014 are to be published in Journal of Computers (EI indexed) and International Journal of Network Security (EI indexed).) The topics include, but are not limited to:
　Mathematical modeling of embedding and detection
　Information theoretic, stochastic aspects of data hiding
　Security issues, including attacks and counter-attacks
　Combination of data hiding and cryptography
　Optimum watermark detection and reliable recovery
　Copyright protection, DRM, and forensic watermarking
　Large-scale experimental tests and benchmarking
　New statistical and perceptual models of multimedia content
　Estimation of watermark capacity
　Reversible data hiding
　Data hiding in special media
　Data hiding and authentication
　Steganography and steganalysis
　Channel coding techniques for watermarking
　Digital multimedia forensics & anti-forensics
　Visual cryptography and secret image sharing
