DAGM 2010

Workshop at DAGM 2010 on Pattern Recognition for IT Security

21/09/2010, 11:00 - 18:00 (preliminary schedule)

Description / Call for Papers:

Graphical data, such as images or video streams, are of growing importance in several disciplines of IT security, ranging from biometric authentication over digital image forensics to visual passwords and CAPTCHAs. Consequently, methods of image analysis and pattern recognition are increasingly used in security-critical applications. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from the pattern recognition and security communities in order to exchange latest research results.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Novel biometric authentication techniques
Novel information hiding paradigms
Image authentication and robust hashing
Digital Forensics
Image and video analysis for security
Visual Passwords
CAPTCHAs

Authors are requested to submit their paper (in PDF format, at most 12 pages, formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines) by e-mail to Stefan Katzenbeisser skatzenbeisser@acm.org. The paper submission deadline has elapsed. The notification of acceptance is July 28th, 2010 (changed!).

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit a full and revised version of their contribution to a special issue of the "LNCS Transactions on Data Hiding and Multimedia Security", published by Springer Verlag in their LNCS series. These papers will undergo the usual review process of the journal.
