in Communication (MUSIC'08)
http://www.music-com.org/

Introduction
Nowadays, multimedia communication plays an important role in multiple
areas in human society including entertainment, politics, economics,
militaries, industries, etc. It is urgent to secure multimedia data by
providing confidentiality, integrity, and ownership or identity, etc.
Generally, 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 in the area of secure multimedia communication,
investigate the novel solutions for secure multimedia services, and
discuss the future trends for multimedia security in new services.

Topics
This workshop covers various aspects of secure multimedia
communication 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.
The topics include but are not limited to
Lightweight multimedia encryption
Secure multimedia adaptation
Multimedia content authentication
Sensitive content detection/filtering based on multimedia analysis
Security threats or model for multimedia services
Conditional Access and Digital Rights Management
Key management/distribution in multimedia services
Secure payment for multimedia services
Secure user interface in multimedia services
Secure telecom/broadcast convergence
Secure mobile/Internet convergence
Security in 3G/4G multimedia communication networks
Security and privacy in multimedia sensor networks
Security protocols or standards for multimedia communication
Secure devices (set-top box, Smart Cards, SIM card, MID, etc.)
Intrusion detection/prevention in multimedia systems
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks in multimedia applications

Submission
The papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, available
in the conference. All published papers will be included in the IEEE
Xplore database and indexed by well-known databases.
All papers must be written in English. A paper should not exceed 5
pages (two columns IEEE format), including figures and references with
10-12 point font. The submission should be done according to the
guidelines on http://liss.whu.edu.cn/mines2009/. The revised or
