Czech Technical University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic
co-located with
2011 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems, Modeling and
Analysis (ICTSM2011)

Network steganography is a part of information hiding focused on modern
networks and is a method of hiding secret data in users' normal data
transmissions, ideally, so it cannot be detected by third parties.
Steganographic techniques arise and evolve with the development of
network protocols and mechanisms, and are expected to be used in secret
communication or information sharing. Now, it becomes a hot topic due to
the wide spread of information networks, e.g., multimedia services in
networks and social networks.

This year's workshop's main theme is network forensics.

The workshop is dedicated to capture such areas of research as 
steganography, steganalysis (steganology), and digital forensics in the 
meaning of network covert channels, investigate the potential 
applications, and discuss the future research topics. Research themes of 
the workshop will include:

- Steganography and steganalysis (steganology)
- Covert/subliminal channels
- Novel applications of information hiding in networks
- Political and business issues related to network steganography
- Information hiding in multimedia services
- Digital forensics
- Network communication modelling from the viewpoint of steganography 
and steganalysis
- New methods for detecting and eliminating network steganography

The first workshop was held in Wuhan (China) in November 2009 and second
workshop in Nanjing (China) in November 2010.
