(Computer Science) degrees from the Salzburg University where they are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program. The submitted work is related to the topics of their respective Ph.D. theses. Martina Podesser and Hans-Peter Schmidt are both graduate students at the Telecommunication & Network Engineering School at Carinthia Tech Institute in Klagenfurt. Their contribution to this work has been done in the context of the system security lab which is part of the curriculum on communication networks. Andreas Uhl received the B.S. and M.S. degrees (both in Mathematics) from Salzburg University and he completed his Ph.D. on Applied Mathematics at the same University. He is currently associate professor with tenure in computer science affiliated with the Department of Scientific Computing and with the Research Institute for Software Technology. He is also part-time lecturer at the Carinthia Tech Institute. His research interests include multimedia signal processing (with emphasis on compression and security issues), parallel and distributed processing, and numbertheoretical methods in numerics.
