IH&MMSEC

Welcome to the 12th ACM Information Hiding and Multimedia Security Workshop - IH&MMSec'24 in Baiona, Galicia, Spain, organized by the Research Group in Signal Processing in Communications (GPSC) at the University of Vigo. GPSC is one of the pioneering research groups in Information Hiding and Multimedia Security with over 25 years of active engagement in this domain. During this time, our field has seen remarkable growth, evolution, and reinvention, yet it continues to preserve the same effervescence of its inception. This vibrancy is reflected in the diverse range of topics covered in this year's program.

In response to our call for papers, we received in total 69 submissions. The top five countries with the highest number of submissions (first author) were Germany, China, France, Italy, and the United States. Each submission underwent rigorous evaluation, with a minimum of three independent reviews provided by members of the Program Committee, supplemented by external reviewers as needed. Based on these timely and high-quality reviews, the Technical Program Chairs selected the 33 most outstanding submissions. The acceptance rate of 47.8% (33/69) reflects our commitment to uphold IH&MMSec as a premier scientific venue in the field of Information Hiding and Multimedia Security. The accepted papers cover the fields of forensics, steganography, steganalysis, watermarking, biometrics, anonymity, security and privacy.
