Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the recent decade, there has been an increase in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for solving the complex problems arising in multimedia security. For example, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely applied in steganography and digital watermarking to enhance the rate-distortion performance of multimedia communication systems. However, the fast development of AI is also accompanied by new challenges in the field of multimedia security. AI models can be applied to enhance the performance of conventional active and passive multimedia forensic systems to protect against common types of attacks. However, novel AI models may be developed by adversaries with malicious intent, such as AI models for generating multimedia forgeries and disinformation. Moreover, extensive research demonstrates that AI models are inherently vulnerable to malicious attacks, such as adversarial perturbations. In turn, this will cause AI models to easily make incorrect decisions, seriously threatening the security and reliability of multimedia and AI systems. Therefore, it is necessary to seek more reliable and robust defensive solutions for multimedia and AI security systems.

This Special Issue aims to attract the latest developments and trends in AI-based multimedia security. Moreover, we encourage the submission of high-quality original research and review papers from academia and industry.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
