Special Session on Security, Privacy and Copyright in Multimedia Social Network

Introduction
Multimedia content sharing in social networks becomes more and more popular, e.g., YouTube, Tudou, MySpace, Facebook, etc. While most social networking sites feature user-generated content, sites like MySpace, Facebook and YouTube could morph into transaction-oriented commerce sites. The transition from file sharing to commerce brings some security and privacy issues. For example, the shared content may be copied from an official content provider illegally, and the user ID or credit card information may be stolen. Additionally, some sensitive contents related to terror, sex or privacy may be spread out illegally. Although some issues are still open, e.g., who (uploader or website operator) will be responsible for the content, it is sure that supervisors or operators of multimedia social networks are expecting the solutions. Now, some methods have been proposed to solve the copyright issues or security flaws in social networks.

This special session aims to bring together research work in the area of security and privacy protection in multimedia social network, investigate the novel solutions and discuss the future trends in this field.
