For more than 20 years the fields of Information Hiding and Multimedia Security have blended advances of multiple disciplines, accumulating a substantial body of knowledge. Signal forensics, digital watermarking, and steganography are representative but not the only topics of interest. All pertinent works have in common that some form of host signal is involved in the realization of security and privacy goals. This workshop has established a reputation as one of the premier outlets for research in these and related areas. Continuing this tradition, the workshop's 2020 edition solicits novel papers documenting research or industrial practice.
Submitted papers should address security and privacy aspects in relation to multimedia host signals in a broad sense (e.g., images, audio, video, text, traffic):
- Forensics and counterforensics
- Steganography and steganalysis
- Covert and subliminal channels
- Watermarking and fingerprinting
- Networks and protocols
- Anonymity
- Biometrics
- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the use or advances in:
- Information, coding, and complexity theory
- Game and decision theory
- Statistical modelling
- Machine learning and deep learning
- Signal processing in the encrypted domain
- Benchmarking and replication
- Obfuscation
Authors are invited to submit both short papers (4-6 pages, e.g., showing work in progress with limited test sets or just giving indications or tendencies) and full papers (10-12 pages, with general and detailed research contributions). Full papers are expected to back their key claims with strong evidence (such as mathematical proofs, statistical modelling, or extensive testing). Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference. Submissions should be properly anonymized for double blinded review, therefore authors and their affiliations should be removed and language be adjusted to prevent easy identification.
There will two awards: one for the best paper and one for the best paper with a student as first author.
