The proposed research project aims to discover whether videos uploaded and exchanged by terrorists and sympathizers contain hidden data, and to recover any such data if this was the case for gathering intelligence on their plans and operations. For that, we will create a high performance and scalable video steganalysis tool called SEEK (Steganalytic vidEo rEsearch frameworK). The tool will be at the core of a system capable of locating, collecting, analyzing, and sanitizing videos shared on the Internet by terrorists or their affiliates.While primarily aimed at helping counter terrorism and law enforcement, with a primary objective of significantly enhancing UK security, the outcomes of the SEEK proposal will also benefit a number of other disciplines and activities. We will contribute to the UK digital economy by improving the security of companies in general and video hosting or sharing sites in particular. For instance, some of SEEKs outputs will directly help companies eliminate any hidden data in any video, and detect and stop data loss when video steganography is used by cyber criminals to exfiltrate stolen data stealthily, which is becoming an increasingly common practice. SEEK also has some potential as a business venture expanding as steganalysis as a service (including analysis of other media), which could create jobs and bring unique technological expertise in the UK.

该计划的目的是查明恐怖分子和同情者上传和交换的视频中是否含有隐藏数据，如果是这样，则恢复这些数据，以收集有关其计划和行动的情报。为此，我们将创建一个高性能和可扩展的视频隐写分析工具，称为SEEK（隐写分析视频研究框架）。该工具将成为一个系统的核心，该系统能够定位、收集、分析和清除恐怖分子或其附属机构在互联网上分享的视频。虽然主要目的是帮助打击恐怖主义和执法，主要目标是显著加强英国的安全，但SEEK提案的结果也将有利于许多其他学科和活动。我们将通过提高企业，特别是视频托管或共享网站的安全性，为英国的数字经济做出贡献。例如，seek的一些输出将直接帮助公司消除任何视频中的隐藏数据，并在网络犯罪分子利用视频隐写术偷偷窃取被盗数据时发现和阻止数据丢失，这已经成为一种越来越普遍的做法。SEEK作为一个商业企业也有一些潜力，可以扩展为隐写分析服务（包括对其他媒体的分析），这可以创造就业机会，并为英国带来独特的技术专长。
