_Tutorial submission date:_ March 6th 2009

Sponsored by the IEEE and the IEEE Signal Processing Society

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.

_Submission of papers:_ Prospective authors are invited to submit

full-length, five-page papers, including figures and references, to the

WIFS'09 Technical Program Committee. Papers will be accepted only by

electronic submission through the conference web site. Template style

files are also provided on the conference web site. Accepted authors are

expected to present their papers at the conference. Please note that the

submission dates for papers are strict deadlines.

_Tutorial proposals:_ We seek tutorials on topics like information

forensics, information security, surveillance, and the systems

applications that incorporate these features. Tutorials will be held on

December 6th 2009. Brief proposals should be submitted by February 6th

2009, to the Tutorial Chair Fabien Petitcolas at tutorialwifs09.org.

Each proposal must include a title, an outline of the tutorial and its

motivation, a 2 page curriculum vitae of the presenter(s) with contact

information, and a description of the material to be covered.
