The joint course gave an introduction to the research field of multimedia data security. It discussed the relevant protection goals and technical enforcement methods for media data, including active (embedding) and passive (detection) techniques. The main part of the course focused on passive methods, which allow users to verify the authenticity and integrity of media data, thereby addressing relevant questions like "Is this digital photograph fake or real?". To answer these questions, two prominent sub-problems of multimedia forensics were studied in detail: source identification and detection of traces of manipulation. Concerning the methods, priority was given to model-based and data-driven techniques.
|
| Results | Students received consistent training on both theoretical aspects of multimedia security and practical skills, thus facilitating future exchanges and joint theses. |
