In this talk I will overview the current state of the art in multimedia security. I will describe techniques that are based on encryption and watermarking and how these methods can be used to protect multimedia content that is streamed over a wired or wireless network.
A short history of watermarking along with a review of many of the issues that motivate applications of watermarking will be discussed. Watermarking of images, video, audio, and other data types will be presented. The use of watermarking in unique "non-security" applications will be presented along with a discussion of what is the future of watermarking and multimedia security.
From 1980-1984, Dr. Delp was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since August 1984, he has been with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.
In 2002 he received a chaired professorship and currently is The Silicon Valley Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Professor of Biomedical Engineering.
His research interests include image and video compression, multimedia security, medical imaging, multimedia systems, communication and information theory.
Dr. Delp has also consulted for various companies and government agencies in the areas of signal and image processing, pattern recognition, and secure communications. He has published and presented more than 250 papers.
Dr. Delp is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the SPIE, a Fellow of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T), and a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering. In 2000 he was selected a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
From 1997-1999 he was Chair of the Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IMDSP) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. From 1994-1998 he was Vice-President for Publications of IS&T.
He was Co-Chair of the SPIE/IS&T Conference on Security and Watermarking of Multimedia Contents that was held in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003. Dr. Delp was the General Co-Chair of the 1997 Visual Communications and Image Processing Conference (VCIP) held in San Jose. He was Program Chair of the IEEE Signal Processing Society's Ninth IMDSP Workshop held in Belize in 1996. He was General Co-Chairman of the 1993 SPIE/IS&T Symposium on Electronic Imaging.
He is the Program Co-Chair of the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing that will be held in Barcelona in 2003.
In 1990 he received the Honeywell Award and in 1992 the D. D. Ewing Award, both for excellence in teaching. In 2001 he received the Raymond C. Bowman Award for fostering education in imaging science from the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T). In 2002 he was awarded a Nokia Fellowship.
During the summers of 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2002 he was a Visiting Professor at the Tampere International Center for Signal Processing at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland.
