Call For Papers - CFP

November 18-20, 2009, Wuhan, Hubei, China

co-located with

International Conference on Multimedia Information Networking and

Security (MINES 2009)

http://stegano.net/workshop

Network steganography is part of information hiding focused on modern

networks and is a method of hiding secret data in users' normal data

transmissions, ideally, so it cannot be detected by third parties.

Steganographic techniques arise and evolve with the development of

network protocols and mechanisms, and are expected to used in secret

communication or information sharing. Now, it becomes a hot topic due to

the wide spread of information networks, e.g., multimedia service

networks and social networks. The workshop is dedicated to capture such

areas of research as steganography, steganalysis, and digital forensics

in the meaning of network covert channels, investigate the potential

applications, and discuss the future research topics. Research themes of

workshop will include:

- Steganography and steganalysis

- Covert/subliminal channels

- Novel applications of information hiding in networks

- Political and business issues in network steganography

- Information hiding in multimedia services

- Digital forensics

- Network communication modelling from the viewpoint of steganography

and steganalysis

- New methods for eliminating network steganography

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Papers will be accepted based on peer review and should contain

original, high quality work. All papers must be written in English. A

paper should not exceed 5 pages (two columns IEEE format), including

figures and references with 10-12 point font.

Submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mines2009

The papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, available

in the conference (MINES 2009), and indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP.

The extended versions of high-quality papers selected from the workshop

will be published in a special issue of Telecommunication Systems:

Modelling, Analysis, Design and Management by Springer-Verlag GmbH

(indexed by ISI Master Journal List).
