Â鶹´«Ã½AV

For more than 20 years, the fields of Information Hiding and Multimedia Security (IH&MMSec) have allied advances of multiple disciplines, accumulating a substantial body of knowledge. The IH&MMSec workshop has established its reputation as one of the premier outlets for research in these and related areas. Continuing this tradition, the 2024 workshop edition solicits novel papers documenting research, industrial, or government practice. The event will be held at Parador de Baiona, a historic fortress with a spectacular view over the ocean, situated in the beautiful town of Baiona in Galicia (Spain).
