It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the First International Workshop on Information Hiding and its Criteria for evaluation---IWIHC2014. Copyright protection has become an important issue due to the growing amount of illegal content being distributed all over the world. Digital watermarking is a significant technology in order to prevent dissemination of illegal content. However, there has not been any establishment for evaluation criteria for digital watermarking. Many of the existing proposals for digital watermarking are impractical, and the required performance level of digital watermarking in order to attain practical use targets are not widely known. The IHC (Information Hiding Criteria) Committee is working to improve this situation through the use of watermark technologies. In particular, it aims to support the development of standard evaluation criteria, sponsoring watermark competitions based on these criteria in order to promote the development of protection measures for the content industry. This workshop aims not only for clarifying the performance of digital watermarking, but also creating higher level of technology through international competition.
This is the first IHC international workshop, though we have already held two local workshops in Japan. Every year, the evaluation criteria for digital watermarking become stricter; this is reflected in the workshop and competition guidelines. Next year, the competition standards will be even more rigorous.

Protection and utilization of privacy information
Our society has been getting more privacy-sensitive. Diverse information is given by users to ICT systems such as IC cards that can benefit them. The information is stored as so-called big data, and there is concern over privacy violation. Visual ...
Robust video watermarking for MPEG compression and DA-AD conversion
In this paper, we proposed a robust video watermarking system. Using DCT domain spread-spectrum watermarking, our system achieved robustness to various non-hostile video processings such as MPEG compression, and DA-AD conversion. Our proposed system ...
Watermarking based on the difference of discrete cosine transform coefficients and an error-correcting code
Digital watermarking has been considered as a solution for copyright protection applications. However, very few researchers have published extensive tests of their algorithms. In recent years, Information Hiding and its Criteria for evaluation (IHC) was ...
DCT-OFDM based watermarking scheme robust against clipping attack
Robustness against various attacks involving lossy compression like JPEG and clipping is inevitable requirements for digital watermarking schemes. In this paper, we propose a watermarking scheme robust against the JPEG compression and a clipping attack ...
Digital watermarking method using LDPC code for clipped image
A method of watermarking using low-density parity-check (LDPC) code was evaluated according to Information Hiding Criteria (IHC). Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) compression and clipping are assumed to be attacks against stego-images in these ...
Salt-and-pepper image watermarking system for IHC evaluation criteria
This paper presents an image watermarking system for the IHC evaluation criteria (ver.3) which require tolerance against both compression and cropping. To meet the requirement, our system repeatedly embeds watermark information into the DCT domain with ...
A detection method of subliminal channel based on VoIP communication
With VoIP (Voice over IP) is widely applied in the Internet, Using the subliminal channel based on VoIP to transmit secret message has been a significant issue in Information Security. At present, many kinds of information hiding algorithms have been ...
Reversible data hiding by adaptive modification of prediction errors
Histogram Shifting (HS) is one of the most popular reversible data hiding techniques that has received tremendous attention from the research community in recent years. While histogram shifting offers many advantages, it suffers from relatively low ...
