Multimedia Security

Multimedia security has become one of the most important topics for organizations and individuals. Presenting important state-of-the art multimedia security techniques and algorithms, this book focuses on data encryption, steganography, watermarking, authentication, data hiding, biometric template security, quantum-based video cryptosystems, pan sharpening, and digital signatures to help in protecting the unauthorized access/alteration of multimedia over the Internet and cloud. It also covers the application of machine learning, blockchain, and AI-based methods for multimedia security. Mathematical models used in data hiding and data evaluation techniques are discussed thoroughly to provide a good understanding of the principles of multimedia security.
