Advanced Communications and Multimedia Security, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2002 IFIP TC6 / TC11 Sixth Joint Working Conference on Communications and Multimedia Security September 26–27, 2002, Portorož, Slovenia IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology Series, Vol. 100

Advanced Communications and Multimedia Security presents a state-of-the-art review of current perspectives as well as the latest developments in the area of communications and multimedia security. It examines requirements, issues and solutions pertinent to securing information networks, and identifies future security-related research challenges. A wide spectrum of topics is discussed, including:
-Applied cryptography;
-Biometry;
-Communication systems security;
-Applications security; Mobile security;
-Distributed systems security;
-Digital watermarking and digital signatures.

This volume comprises the proceedings of the sixth Joint Working Conference on Communications and Multimedia Security (CMS'02), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in September 2002 in Portoroz, Slovenia. It constitutes essential reading for information security specialists, researchers and professionals working in the area of computer science and communication systems.
