CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
COPYRIGHT AND PRIVACY PROTECTION
Significant investments are now being made worldwide to develop an
infrastructure for on-line services and electronic commerce. A major
impediment is the lack of effective protection of copyright for
content owners and of privacy for users. Digital data can be easily
copied and redistributed widely without any loss of fidelity. One
promising idea is to discourage illicit distribution by watermarking
digital objects with hidden copyright messages to proclaim ownership
and unique identifiers to help trace pirates. The techniques of
information hiding are in many ways related to mechanisms that can be
used to protect the anonymity of system users by concealing address,
location and routing information. The problem becomes even more
interesting when privacy protection and copyright protection must be
combined in the same system.
We seek fundamental papers on watermarking of digital data, on
techniques for anonymous communications, and design and analysis of
systems that protect copyright and/or privacy. A partial list of
topics is as follows:
+ watermarking of digital data
+ anonymous communications
+ steganography
+ covert and subliminal channels in networks protocols
+ combining copyright and privacy protection
+ experiments and attacks
+ tradeoffs between performance and security
Prospective authors should email their manuscripts (PostScript format
only) or send six hard copies to one of the Guest Editors listed
below, according to the following schedule. Please direct all email
enquiries to [email protected].
