The overall goal of the EURASIP Journal on Information Security, sponsored by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), is to bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with the general field of information forensics, information security and privacy, biometrics, surveillance and systems applications with a particular emphasis on the use of signal processing tools in adversarial environments. As such, it addresses all works whereby forensics, security and privacy are achieved through a combination of techniques from applied cryptography, software-, hardware- and network security, machine learning and multimedia signal processing. Application domains lie, for example, in secure storage, retrieval and tracking of multimedia data, secure outsourcing of computations, forgery detection of multimedia data, or secure use of biometrics. The journal also welcomes survey papers that give the reader a gentle introduction to one of the topics covered as well as papers that report large-scale experimental evaluations of existing techniques. Pure cryptographic papers are outside the scope of the journal. .
