Call For Papers

For many years, information hiding has captured the imagination of researchers. Digital watermarking and steganography tools are used to address digital rights management, protect information, and conceal secrets. From an investigators perspective, information hiding provides an interesting challenge for digital forensic investigations and steganalysis techniques allows hidden information to be discovered. These are but a small number of related topics and issues. Current research themes include:

Watermarking (attacks, security, algorithms)
Anonymity and privacy
Steganography and steganalysis
Multimedia security
Other hiding domains (e.g. text, software, etc.)
Information assurance
Digital forensics
Covert/subliminal channels
Theoretical aspects of information hiding
Intrusion detection
Digital rights management
Novel technologies/applications

Continuing a successful series that brought together these closely linked research areas, the 10th Edition of Information Hiding (IH08) will be held in Santa Barbara, California. For a PDF version of the Call for Papers, click here.

Instructions for authors:

Interested parties are invited to submit novel papers on research and practice which are related to the above areas of interest. Claims about information hiding technology, such as robustness or steganographic security, must be backed by strong evidence in the paper (such as mathematical proofs, statistical modelling or extensive testing).

Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should follow the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should be no more than 15 pages including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series. For more information about paper submission formats, see the guidelines in www.springer.com.

Authors can submit their manuscripts on-line on the conference website where detailed instructions are provided. Submissions received after the submission deadline or failing to conform to the guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Where possible, all further communications to authors will be via email. For further questions, please email ih08.papers@gmail.com.

Important: The review process will be double-blind. The submitted papers should be anonymized avoiding obvious references and pointers, that would clearly indicate the source of the submitted paper. Note that blind review does not mean that one must remove citations to one's own work-- however, they should not be referred to in the first person.

Submission of Camera-ready Papers:

The authors of the accepted papers are requested to submit the camera-ready version of their papers by April 13th. The submission website is
