Intellectual property owners who exploit new ways of reproducing, distributing, and marketing their creations digitally must also protect them from piracy.

It begins by introducing security fundamentals and discussing the vulnerabilities of individual protection schemes. Part II focuses on multimedia encryption. Part III examines watermarking techniques, and Part IV covers multimedia data hiding, fingerprinting, and authentication. The text concludes with chapters describing applications, discussing topics such as application taxonomy, digital rights management, and techniques for adult image filtering.
