Over the last decade, baseline indexing techniques have been refurbished under the code name "content fingerprinting" when deployed in the context of security applications. In the first part of the talk, the speaker will detail the collection of security-related applications where content fingerprints have been exploited, including IP theft detection, audience measurement, traffic monitoring, forgery detection, etc. In the second part, he will discuss the unique technical challenges raised by the presence of a possibly hostile adversary in the ecosystem.

The terminology "multimedia security" gained a new popularity in the mid-90s with the rapid rise of digital watermarking in an attempt to combat piracy of copyrighted content. This milestone incarnates the mutation of content protection techniques from conventional cryptography to signal processing techniques. Today, multimedia security encompasses a much wider range of techniques such as multimedia encryption, content fingerprinting, anti-camcording, passive forensic analysis.
