TOPICAL THEME

 

Recent years have witnessed rapid developments of the information and communication technologies, and the Next-Generation Internet, 3G and 4G wireless mobile networks have been striding to a large-scale deployment and application. The emerging versatile network admissions, especially for social network services, tools and applications, enable a much more convenient access to multimedia contents in anytime, at anywhere, for anyone. Unfortunately, in such environment, copyright infringement behaviors, such as illicit copying, malicious distribution, unauthorized usage, free sharing of copyright-protected digital contents, will also become a much more common phenomenon. Some research frontiers on multimedia contents security in social networks applications have been in progress, including enhanced security mechanisms, methods and algorithms, trust assessment and risk management in social network applications, as well as social factors and soft computing in social media distributions.

 

The special issue attempts to bring together researchers, contents industry engineers and administrators resorting to the state-of-the-art technologies and ideas to protect valuable multimedia contents and services against attacks and IP piracy in the emerging social networks.

 

The topics include, but are not limited to:

· Preventative cryptography methods for multimedia contents security

· Reactive watermarking and forensics approaches to multimedia content protection in Social Networks

· Social Distribution Network architecture, modeling and simulation

· IP, privacy and usage control for Multimedia Social Networks

· Social computing and Multimedia Social Networks

· Trust management and trust assessment in social networks

· Security risk management and soft computing in social network applications

· Toward social network DRM application cases
