Information Hiding Workshop
Holiday Inn University Center, Pittsburgh, USA
25 -  27 April   2001

Preliminary Call for Papers:   4th International Information Hiding Workshop

Many researchers are interested in hiding information or, conversely, in
preventing others from doing so. As the need to protect digital
intellectual property grows ever more urgent, this research is of
increasing interest to both the academic and business communities. Current
research themes include: copyright marking of digital objects, covert
channels in computer systems, detection of hidden information, subliminal
channels in cryptographic protocols, low-probability-of-intercept
communications, and various kinds of anonymity services ranging from
steganography through location security to digital elections. An
international workshop on Information Hiding held in 1996 at the Isaac
Newton Institute in Cambridge (Springer LNCS 1174) brought together these
closely  linked areas of study. The workshop proved to be a success, and
the research community followed it up with a second one in 1998 in Portland
(Springer LNCS 1525) and a third one in 1999 in Dresden (Springer LNCS 1768).

Interested parties are invited to submit papers on research and practice
which are related to these areas of interest. Claims about  information
hiding technology must be backed by evidence in the paper and the authors
must be prepared to publicly discuss such claims at the
workshop.  Submissions must be made electronically  as a pdf file of no
more than 15 pages, strictly adhering to the Springer LNCS series format
(tex output highly recommended).  See
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf for
details.  Submissions should be sent to the program chair, Ira Moskowitz,
at ihw@itd.nrl.navy.mil
