AIMS AND SCOPE
The IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security
(WIFS) 2024 will be the 16th edition of the major annual event organized
by the IEEE Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee
(IFS-TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). The major goal of
WIFS is to bring together researchers working in the different areas of
information forensics and security to discuss challenges, exchange
ideas, and share state-of-the-art results and technical expertise, with
the aim of building a community capable of providing adequate tools and
solutions to face the challenges of tomorrow.
WIFS 2024 will be held in Rome, Italy, from December 2 to December 5,
hosted by Roma Tre University, and it will see the participation of
researchers from all over the world, who will allow to have a high-level
technical program, also thanks to the expertise of the program committee
involved, and who will have the opportunity to exploit an interesting
social program taking advantage of the charm of the Eternal City.

CALL FOR TUTORIALS
The organizing committee invites proposals for Tutorials on relevant and
emerging topics in the area of Information Forensics and Security.
Tutorials will be given during the first day of the conference, on
Monday December 2, 2024.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS
The organizing committee invites proposals for innovative and
high-quality special sessions on emerging topics, which complement the
regular program of the conference. Special sessions should both provide
an overview of the state of the art in the proposed field, and highlight
the most promising research directions, trends and issues. Special
session proposals will be evaluated based on the proposed topic, the
expected impact, the expected quality of the contributed papers, and the
session organizers and contributing authors. Special session paper
submissions will be reviewed via the same process used for the regular
program, and papers are expected to meet the same quality standards.
Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE
Xplore.

CALL FOR DEMOS
The organizing committee invites proposals for demonstrations of
applications in information forensics and security topics. Demos are
intended as real, practical, and interactive proof of the presenters'
research ideas and scientific or engineering contributions, with the
goal of providing researchers and practitioners with the opportunity to
discuss working systems, applications, prototypes, or proof-of-concepts.
Accepted and presented demos will be described in short papers that will
be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.

CALL FOR CHALLENGES
The organizing committee invites proposals for challenges addressing
problems that will engage and excite the information forensics and
security research community. Challenge organizers should provide a
dataset to participating teams, including data to train and test the
proposed algorithm. They are also in charge of checking the submitted
results/models. The organizers will be asked to summarize the challenge
outcomes in a paper that will be presented during the workshop and
submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Prospective authors are invited to submit research papers be up to 6
double-column pages, including references and figures, presenting
original works and addressing Information Forensics and Security aspects
in a broad sense. The review process will be single-blind (author’s
names can be reported in the submitted papers). Accepted and presented
papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. It is planned
to organize a special issue with invitations for a selection of the best
presented papers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
  • Anonymization and Data Privacy
  • Applied Cryptography
  • Biometrics
  • Communication and Physical-Layer Security
  • Cybersecurity
