Progress of Forensic Tracking Techniques Progress of Forensic Tracking Techniques

Project co-funded by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Programme Dissemination Level PU Public X PP Restricted to other programme participants (including the Commission services) RE Restricted to a group specified by the consortium (including the Commission services) CO Confidential, only for members of the consortium (including the Commission services) Abstract This deliverable is an update of the ongoing research activities on perceptual hashing that is performed within the project ECRYPT. Deliverable D.WVL.7 was focused on forensic tracking and deliverable D.WVL.12 gave an overview of perceptual hashing in general and within ECRYPT. D.WVL.13 focused on the ongoing work on the identification of various content types and motivated the development of a benchmarking system for perceptual hashing algorithms. In this deliverable D.WVL.17, the progress in the requirements analysis and the design of a benchmarking system for perceptual hashing algorithms – called PHABS – is described. Furthermore, the robustness and security of an perceptual hashing algorithm for images is analyzed.
