Image and Video Encryption - From Digital Rights Management to Secured Personal Communication

The goals of Kluwer International Series on ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY are‚ one‚ to establish the state of the art of‚ and set the course for future research in information security and‚ two‚ to serve as a central reference source for advanced and timely topics in information security research and development. The scope of this series includes all aspects of computer and network security and related areas such as fault tolerance and software assurance. ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY aims to publish thorough and cohesive overviews of specific topics in information security‚ as well as works that are larger in scope or that contain more detailed background information than can be accommodated in shorter survey articles. The series also serves as a forum for topics that may not have reached a level of maturity to warrant a comprehensive textbook treatment. Researchers as well as developers are encouraged to contact Professor Sushil Jajodia with ideas for books under this series. I dedicate this book to my wife Jutta – thank you for your understanding and help in my ambition to be both‚ a loving and committed partner and father as well as an enthusiastic scientist. I dedicate this book to all the people with great ideas who make the net an enjoyable place.
