Title: Towards a new paradigm: Preventing crime while respecting privacy Abstract: The explosive growth in multimedia content, combined with the wide proliferation of cloud-based services, is fuelling a global shift toward the cloud computing paradigm. However, there remain significant security and privacy issues surrounding this outsourced content stored in the cloud. The traditional way to secure this outsourced content is to render the data encrypted prior to outsourcing. However, merely encrypting the data does not ensure that the content is intact, as there may be attack attempts on the encrypted content. Additionally, providing the same services on the encrypted content is very challenging. This talk covers some key issues and challenges of multimedia security. Specifically, this talk will span three key areas: current research in Digital Forensics, recent research into multimedia security and my vision for future research. Speaker Bio: I am currently working as postdoctoral fellow in the department of computer science at Dartmouth College with Prof. Hany Farid. My research interests include multimedia security, encrypted domain processing and detection of fake media. I previously worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University at Albany, State University of New York with Prof. Pradeep K. Atrey where my research dealt with assessing the security and privacy issues of outsourced multimedia. I also have experience working as a postdoctoral fellow at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Rookee with Prof. Balasubramanian Raman and Prof. Manoj Misra. I received my PhD from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, India under the advising of Prof. Suneeta Agarwal.
