UNCOVER partners attended the 11th ACM Workshop on Information Hiding and Multimedia Security – ACM IH&MMSec 2023, held in Chicago, Illinois, June 28-30, 2023.

The ACM IH&MMSEC 2023 is one of the main events in the area of multimedia security and attracts researchers from all over the world.

The workshop focuses on information-hiding topics such as steganography, steganalysis, digital watermarking, anonymity, hard-to-intercept communications, and covert channels. It also covers a variety of multimedia security topics, including multimedia authentication, multimedia forensics, biometrics, and privacy.

The research presented in this workshop captures state-of-the-art work conducted in academic, industrial, and government institutions around the world. The articles cover significant theoretical aspects of the field, as well as new industrial and commercial applications of techniques and algorithms developed in the area.
