Secure Media

Abstract

AbstractMedia security is a subset of information security concerned with protecting the semantic information behind multimedia assets, such as images, instead of just representing the information. Media security problems can be divided into two main clusters: creator-centric and content-centric. With the growing reliance on multimedia content in citizens’ daily lives, both professionally and in their private lives, media security is becoming an essential technology to include in many applications. Furthermore, media security is no longer a niche; many applications need media security tools and solutions in addition to more general security tools and solutions such as symmetric or asymmetric encryption. At the same time, media security tools and solutions are increasingly essential elements in many professional and private applications that have become multimedia-rich.
