http://liss.whu.edu.cn/mines2009/

The previous event: 2008 International Workshop on Multimedia Security 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 extended versions of the accepted and presented papers will be invited to the following International Journals:
Multimedia Tools and Applications
Journal of Internet Technology
