The field of secure media and data protection is moving towards developing innovative solutions to establish trust in digital content and protect sensitive information. Researchers are focusing on creating comprehensive security architectures that guarantee the provenance of digital media and ensure the integrity of data in use. Notable developments include the use of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to secure imaging pipelines and the creation of non-transferable examples to control model-specific authorization. Additionally, there is a growing interest in protecting visual datasets from unauthorized use in Retrieval-Augmented Image Generation (RAIG) systems and ensuring the confidentiality of data in cloud deployments. These advancements have the potential to significantly impact industries that rely on trustworthy visual information, such as journalism, legal evidence, and insurance. Noteworthy papers include: Signing Right Away, which introduces a comprehensive security architecture to guarantee the provenance of digital media. ImageSentinel, which proposes a novel framework to protect visual datasets in RAIG systems. Proof of Cloud, which presents a design to generate proofs of cloud execution assurance for confidential virtual machines.
