Wiley Journal: Security and Communication Network (SCN) Call for Paper Special Issue: Secure Multimedia Communication Background ========== Multimedia data like images, audios or videos are different from plain text. They are often of large volumes and are compressed in order to save the storage cost and bandwidth. Due to such requirement and property, the media protection mechanisms for images, audios or videos are significantly different from the ones for text or binary data. With the recent advances in network and multimedia technology, the applications in commercial scenario become increasing crucial. There is an increasing trend in the multimedia content distribution from the central service provider to the individuals, e.g. video-on-demand, IPTV and p2p sharing. In these applications, piracy is becoming a critical issue. Solutions are needed to protect the copyright of multimedia content. During the past decades, schemes have been reported for secure multimedia communication, e.g., key management, multimedia encryption, authentication, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, access control and digital rights management. These techniques are able to protect multimedia content's confidentiality, integrity, ownership, traitor traceability. In addition, in different networks such as Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and p2p, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide the system security. All these topics are in active development. This special issue aims to expose the readership of SCN to the latest research results on secure multimedia communication. The issue focuses on secure transmission or distribution of multimedia content. Topics ======== Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Copyright techniques Digital rights management for multimedia Secure multimedia transcoding in communication Secure media streaming Secure multimedia content sharing in P2P network Broadcast encryption and authentication Security in multimedia message sending Security in mobile TV Security in IPTV Attacks and prevention in multimedia communication Secure multimedia broadcasting over wireless networks Secure multimedia broadcasting over IEEE 802.x families Secure multimedia over multi-hop networks, e.g. Ad hoc network, wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks Hardware Implementations of secure multimedia techniques Low-power Architectures for portable appliances Submission Procedures ===================== Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal.
