An International Journal

Special Issue on "Data Hiding for Multimedia Security"

Description 

The digital information revolution has brought profound changes in our daily lives and the advantages of digital information have also generated new challenges and opportunities for their protection. Due to the tremendous advances in signal processing and  transmission techniques, it is easy to acquire, tamper and duplicate multimedia data. For the last two decades, digital data hiding has received a great deal of attention from the scientific community to overcome the aforementioned problems. Remarkable research efforts have been invested in
recent years, trying to export novel and applied real world engineering applications. 

This special issue intents to bring together diversity of international  researchers, experts  and practitioners who are currently working in the area of digital data hiding systems. It is envisaged that  this special issue will explore the advances of methods, techniques, and tools in solving the unsolved questions in digital data hiding. Prominent researchers both from academia and industry are invited to contribute their work for extending the existing knowledge in the field.
