For more than 20 years, the fields of Information Hiding and Multimedia Security (IH&MMSec) have allied advances of multiple disciplines, accumulating a substantial body of knowledge. The IH&MMSec workshop has established its reputation as one of the premier outlets for research in these and related areas. Continuing this tradition, the 2025 workshop edition solicits novel papers documenting research, industrial, or government practice. The event will be held in San Jose, California, in the United States.

Submitted papers should address security and privacy aspects in relation to multimedia host signals (including images, audio, videos, texts, network traffic, etc.):

    Forensics and counter-forensics
    Steganography and steganalysis
    Covert and subliminal channels
    Watermarking and fingerprinting
    Networks and protocols
    Anonymity and privacy
    Biometrics
    Deep fake analysis

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the use or advances of the following methods:

    Information, coding, and complexity theory
    Game and decision theory
    Statistical modeling
    Machine learning and deep learning
    Adversarial machine learning
    DNN watermarking
    Deep learning security
    Secure Signal Processing
    Benchmarking and replication
    Obfuscation and privacy-preserving systems
