Lab Introduction
|
Digital media-such as pictures, movies, and music-have become widely available due to their advantages over analog media. However, copyright infringement, information leaks, and alteration remain problematic with digital content because it can easily be modified, copied, and sent illegally over the Internet.
Our goal is to establish content security technologies and systems for fair use of digital content. We have developed and continue to develop fundamental content security technologies, such as information hiding and content anonymization, content security systems that provide copyright protection, information leakage protection, and authenticity assurance, and other security measures. Below are example research projects of our laboratory.
Security technologies for overcoming analog-hole problem
- Technology to prevent unauthorized copying of screens
- Technology to prevent unauthorized copying of displays
Privacy-enhancing technologies for resolving trade-offs between data anonymity and utility
- Privacy Visor
- Fingerprinting technologies for anonymizing data
- Privacy in business processes
Information hiding
- Color picture Watermarking Survivability to Wide Range of Geometrical Transformations
- Maintaining picture quality of color picture watermarking based on human visual system
- Reversible acoustic information hiding for integrity verification
