Guest editorial: bio-inspired information hiding

Welcome to this Special Issue on Bio-Inspired Information Hiding. Research in information hiding started in the early 1990s. With the widespread use of Internet and wireless networks, and the blooming growth in consumer electronic devices and advances inmultimedia compression techniques, multimedia streams are easily acquired nowadays. Hence, how to achieve copyright protection of the above-men...
