The theme of the special session Data Hiding and Multimedia Security which has been an important and very active research area, especially with the massive growth of digital data and communication technologies. Several security breaches and threats have put many challenges to investigators for distribution and communication of digital media. The aim of this special session is to provide an environment to foster interaction of researchers to exchange ideas about research trends and share their expertise in the theory and application of computational intelligence techniques to data hiding and multimedia security.

The special session invites papers on the following or related topics:
•             Watermarking and steganography
•             Targeted and blind steganalysis
•             Data embedding and detection audio, image and video
•             Multimedia forensics
•             Content authentication and integrity verification
•             Fraud/forgery detection
•             Theoretical aspects of information hiding and detection
•             Secure multimedia system designs
•             Security metrics for information hiding
•             New applications of information hiding
•             Pattern recognition and security for forensics traces
•             Content traces and copyright management
