Multimedia data are becoming increasingly important in today's digital world, driven by the wide range of computer applications and corresponding technologies. With the advent of 5th generation (5G) technology, digital images are frequently transmitted via open, insecure channels on the Internet. As a result, the security of digital image data is significantly compromised by recent advancements in computer-related technologies. Several state-of-the-art encryption techniques have been introduced to address these security issues. Unfortunately, many algorithms have been developed specifically for text encryption, rendering most traditional encryption schemes inappropriate for encrypting digital images. This is because text encryption techniques are not suitable for image data, due to several unique characteristics, including large volumes of data and a strong correlation between pixel values. In this context, we invite academics and industry to contribute original research articles and review articles that seek to discover innovative solutions for multimedia encryption and information security.
