It is an honor and great pleasure to write a preface for this postproceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Information Hiding. In the past 10 years, the field of data hiding has been maturing and expanding, gradually establishing its place as an active interdisciplinary research area uniquely combining information theory, cryptology, and signal processing. This year, the workshop was followed by the Privacy Enhancing Technologies workshop (PET) hosted at the same location. Delegates viewed this connection as fruitful as it gave both communities a convenient opportunity to interact. We would like to thank all authors who submitted their work for consideration. Out of the 70 submisions received by the program committee, 25 papers were accepted for publication based on their novelty, originality, and scientific merit. We strived to achieve a balanced exposition of papers that would represent many different aspects of information hiding. All papers were divided into eight sessions: digital media watermarking, steganalysis, digital forensics, steganography, software watermarking, security and privacy, anonymity, and data hiding in unusual content. This year, the workshop included a one-hour rump session that offered an opportunity to the delegates to share their work in progress and other brief but interesting contributions.
Digital audio, video, images, and documents are flying through
cyberspace to their respective owners. Unfortunately, along the
way, individuals may choose to intervene and take this content for
themselves. Digital watermarking and steganography technology
greatly reduces the instances of this by limiting or eliminating
the ability of third parties to decipher the content that he has
taken. The many techiniques of digital watermarking (embedding a
code) and steganography (hiding information) continue to evolve as
applications that necessitate them do the same. The authors of this
second edition provide an update on the framework for applying
these techniques that they provided researchers and professionals
in the first well-received edition. Steganography and steganalysis
(the art of detecting hidden information) have been added to a
robust treatment of digital watermarking, as many in each field
research and deal with the other. New material includes
watermarking with side information, QIM, and dirty-paper codes. The
revision and inclusion of new material by these influential authors
has created a must-own book for anyone in this profession.
Steganography, the art of hiding of information in apparently innocuous objects or images, is a field with a rich heritage, and an area of rapid current development. This clear, self-contained guide shows you how to understand the building blocks of covert communication in digital media files and how to apply the techniques in practice, including those of steganalysis, the detection of steganography. Assuming only a basic knowledge in calculus and statistics, the book blends the various strands of steganography, including information theory, coding, signal estimation and detection, and statistical signal processing. Experiments on real media files demonstrate the performance of the techniques in real life, and most techniques are supplied with pseudo-code, making it easy to implement the algorithms. The book is ideal for students taking courses on steganography and information hiding, and is also a useful reference for engineers and practitioners working in media security and information assurance.
