Special Issue on Secure Multimedia Services

Introduction During the last decade, various techniques have been proposed to improve multimedia service systems' security. For example, multimedia encryption is used for confidentiality protection of multimedia content, multimedia authentication for integrity detection, digital watermarking for ownership authentication or copy tracing, Conditional Access (CA) for access control, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) for copyright management, etc. In addition, in different networks, such as the Internet, 3G wireless, DVB-H and sensor network, different secure protocols and algorithms are required to provide system security. All these topics are in active development.
