Topics: forensics and counter forensics steganography and steganalysis covert and subliminal channels watermarking and fingerprinting

For more than 20 years, the fields of Information Hiding and Multimedia Security (IH&MMSec) have allied advances of multiple disciplines, accumulating a substantial body of knowledge. The IH&MMSec workshop has established its reputation as one of the premier outlets for research in these and related areas. Continuing this tradition, the 2024 workshop edition solicits novel papers documenting research, industrial, or government practice. The event will be held at Parador de Baiona, a historic fortress with a spectacular view over the ocean, situated in the beautiful town of Baiona in Galicia (Spain).

Submitted papers should address security and privacy aspects in relation to multimedia host signals (including images, audio, videos, texts, network traffic, etc.):

Forensics and counter-forensics
Steganography and steganalysis
Covert and subliminal channels
Watermarking and fingerprinting
Networks and protocols
Anonymity and privacy
Biometrics
Deep fake analysis

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the use or advances of the following methods:

Information, coding, and complexity theory
Game and decision theory
Statistical modeling
Machine learning and deep learning
Adversarial machine learning
DNN watermarking
Deep learning security
