Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Multimedia data have dominated the Internet, and various devices are capable of producing and handling multimedia data such as audio, image, and video. Multimedia security is a major concern in the prevention of ownership and copyright problems. Multimedia security methodologies, such as digital watermarking, data encryption/decryption, steganography, data hiding, and blockchain, represent new trends in multimedia security. When considering multimedia security, symmetric and asymmetric concepts are very important to sender and receiver.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Malware in multimedia data and devices;
  • Multimedia data security, recovery, and segregation;
  • Secure integration of multimedia data in IoT and online social networks;
  • Multimedia steganography and steganalysis;
  • Digital watermarking;
  • Digital rights management systems;
  • Security and privacy issues about multimedia systems;
  • Multimedia security on smart homes, IoE, automobiles, smart city, and smart grid;
  • Security applications with blockchain;
  • Multimedia forensics;
  • Lightweight cryptography and protocols;
  • Privacy, reliability, and security issues raised by cyber physical systems;
  • Access control and authentication for multimedia privacy and security systems;
  • Symmetry and asymmetry security on multimedia data.

In recent times, there has been a noticeable increase in the application of human biometrics for user authentication in various domains, such as online banking. However, the use of biometric systems poses security risks and the potential for misuse, primarily due to the storage of original templates in databases. To tackle this issue, the concept of cancelable biometrics has emerged as a reliable method utilizing one-way encryption. Several algorithms have been developed to implement cancelable biometrics, incorporating visual representations of single or multiple biometrics. This research proposes a cancelable biometric system that utilizes deep learning techniques to generate two encrypted modalities, namely text and image, using facial and fingerprint biometrics acquired from a smartphone. The system consists of two main stages: a visual encoder and a text encoder. The visual encoder converts the fingerprint style into a facial representation, creating a cancelable template to ensure the potential for cancelation. The resulting visual template is then processed by the text encoder, which employs hashing techniques to generate a corresponding text template. User authentication is automatically verified by utilizing the generated templates through Siamese networks. Full article
