Scope

As an important branch of network security, image steganography has set off a research upsurge since it was proposed and plays an important role in all kinds of copyright protection. With social changes, the traditional way of hiding important information in the carrier at the cost of permanent distortion of the carrier can no longer meet more practical needs. For example, in medicine it is necessary to ensure not only the security of information in the transmission process but also the lossless recovery of the carrier after the receiver extracts the hidden information. In the military, the security of carrier information is much more important than the amount of information that can be embedded. With the introduction of a large amount of data, the way of storing information in the cloud is also facing the challenges of data security and reversible information extraction. In addition, massive spreading of harmful information will increase the difficulty of security management. Image steganalysis techniques can address such concerns. Of particular interest here is real-time image steganalysis when information timeline is of importance. How to use new technologies such as deep learning and pattern recognition to improve the embedding rate and real-time steganalysis and how to reduce time complexity are ongoing research problems.

This special section is intended to serve as a forum to provide recent advances in real-time image steganography and steganalysis technology as related to the following: (1) state-of-the-art real-time steganalysis models based on deep learning; (2) novel real-time image hiding frameworks; (3) real-time reversible image hiding technology in encrypted domain; (4) real-time steganography and steganalysis using computational intelligence; (5) real-time multi-media security and watermarking; and (6) survey articles reporting the recent progress in real-time image hiding and steganalysis. 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Real-time image steganalysis model based on deep learning
  • Real-time reversible image steganography technology
  • Real-time reversible image steganography technology in encrypted domain
  • Real-time reversible image steganography in shared domain
  • Securing social media real-time image steganography
  • Blockchain based real-time image steganography
  • Deep learning based real-time image steganography
  • Real-time or online image steganography
  • Real-time combination of encryption, watermarking for privacy protection and authentication
  • Improved real-time methods for traditional image steganography technology
  • Real-time semi learning steganalysis model
  • Adversarial examples of real-time detection based on image steganalysis
  • Comprehensive survey articles on recent real-time image steganography and steganalysis techniques highlighting future challenges

Manuscripts should conform to the author guidelines of the Journal of Electronic Imaging. Prospective authors should submit their manuscript through the online submission system at https://jei.msubmit.net. The special section should be mentioned in the cover letter. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within six weeks. Each paper is published as soon as the copyedited and typeset proofs are approved by the author.

Scope

Multimedia content includes images, text, audio, video, and graphics and stands as one of the most demanding and exciting aspects of the information era. Due to new developments in science and technology, different methods are used to copy, recreate, distribute, and store these contents easily for many real-world applications, such as smart healthcare, secure multimedia content on social networks, secured e-voting systems, automotive, military, digital forensic, digital cinema, education, insurance companies, drivers licenses, and passports. Multimedia information over open channel using information and communication technology (ICT) has proved an indispensible and cost-effective technique for dissemination and distribution of media files. However, various criminal offenses such as identity theft, copyright violation, and misuse of personal and medical information, have become part of daily life and cause financial loss. Therefore, addressing these challenges has become an interesting problem for researchers in the field. Motivated by these facts, this special section targets the researchers from both academia and industry to explore and share new ideas, approaches, theories, and practices with focus on multimedia security and privacy solutions for real-world applications.

Authors are invited to submit original research and high-quality survey articles on topics including but not limited to:

  • Multimedia intellectual property protection
  • Encryption of multimedia records
  • Multimedia information hiding
  • Blockchain technology for multimedia
  • Biometrics
  • Multimedia security for industries
  • Security and privacy trends in the industrial IoMT
  • Cloud data security
  • Cyber security
  • Protection systems/mechanisms against patient identity leakage
  • Multimedia forensics
  • Privacy in multimedia communication
  • Federated learning for multimedia security and privacy
  • Multimedia in fog/edge computing environments
  • Secure media streaming

Manuscripts should conform to the author guidelines of the Journal of Electronic Imaging. Prospective authors should submit their manuscript through the online submission system at https://jei.msubmit.net. The special section should be mentioned in the cover letter. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within six weeks.
