IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security

The IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security
(WIFS) is the first workshop to be organized by the IEEE's Information
Forensics and Security Technical Committee. It is intended to become an
annual event. Our aspiration is to create a venue for knowledge exchange
that encompasses a broad range of disciplines and facilitates the
exchange of ideas between various disparate communities that constitute
information security. By so doing, we hope that researchers will
identify new opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and gain
new perspectives.

The conference will feature prominent keynote speakers, tutorials,
lecture sessions organized in two parallel tracks, and a poster session.
Appropriate topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Biometrics: emerging modalities, recognition techniques, multimodal
decision, attacks and countermeasures;
* Computer security: intrusion detection, vulnerability analysis, system
security;
* Cryptography for multimedia content: perceptual hash function,
multimedia encryption, signal processing in the encrypted domain,
traitor tracing codes, key distribution;
* Data hiding: watermarking, steganography and steganalysis, legacy
system enhancement;
* Digital Rights Management (DRM): DRM primitives (secure clocks,
proximity detection, etc), DRM architectures, DRM interoperability;
* Forensic analysis: device identification, data recovery, validation of
forensic evidence;
* Network security: privacy protection, network tomography and
surveillance, system recovery from security/privacy failure;
* Non technical aspects of security: legal, ethical, social and
economical issues;
* (Video) surveillance: arrays of sensors design and analysis, content
tracking, events recognition, large crowd behaviour analysis;
* Secure Applications: e-voting, e-commerce.
