The rapid advances in computer graphics and multimedia security technologies have heralded a new age of explosive growth in multimedia applications such as real-time 3D game and secure multimedia content. The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of powerful multimedia systems and an increasing demand for practice of computer graphics and multimedia security (CGMS). CGMS has moved into the mainstream of multimedia and has become a key technology in determining future research and development activities in many academic and industrial branches.

This special issue aims to address CGMS technologies. It will accept both original research papers and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art in graphics algorithms including topics such as image processing, geometric modelling and digital rights management for multimedia. The papers will be peer reviewed and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue.

Topics considered include but are not limited to:

 Image processing
 Modeling and rendering
 Geometric algorithms
 2D and 3D game issue
 Digital rights management for multimedia
 Security in mobile TV
 Secure multimedia transcoding in communication
 Secure multimedia content sharing in P2P network
 Security in IPTV
 Secure multimedia broadcasting over wireless networks
