Dear colleagues,

With the advent of techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs), more sophisticated presentation attacks such as Deepfakes have emerged. Hence, it is imperative to develop effective countermeasures to address these challenges as well. The field of biometric security has attracted great attention in recent years and has heavily investigated in a number of projects including Tabula Rasa (EU project), ODIN (IARPA project) and DARPA MediFor SAVI underlining the need to solutions to defend against these attack vectors.

This workshop in WACV-2020 is being organized to reflect on these specific issues, the impact and countermeasures for biometric systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring experts from computer vision, pattern recognition and image processing fields to advance the state-of-the-art PAD (anti-spoofing) solutions and Deepfake detection solutions.

Papers are invited to report on following topics, but not limited to:

• Novel attack mechanisms
• Novel physical attacks on biometric systems (e.g.,mask attacks).
• Deepfake attacks on biometrics and detection methods.
• Explainable AI in Presentation Attack

Papers presented at WACV workshops will be published as part of the "WACV Workshop Proceedings" and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference. Workshop papers will be included in IEEE Xplore, but will be indexed separately from the main conference papers.

For review, a complete paper should be submitted using the for_review format and the guidelines provided in the author kit. All reviews are double-blind, so please be careful not to include any identifying information including the authors’ names or affiliations.

Accepted papers will be allocated 8 pages in the proceedings. Please note that References/Bibliography at the end of the paper will NOT count toward the aforementioned page limit. That is, a paper can be up to 8 pages + the references.

The submission guidelines can be found at: https://sites.google.com/view/wacv2020-deeppab/

Authors should upload their submission at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/DEEPPAB2020/

The topics of the workshop include but not limited to:

• Novel attack mechanisms
• Novel physical attacks on biometric systems (e.g.,mask attacks)
• Approaches on evaluating the human perception in detecting such attacks
• Algorithmic advancements in detecting attacks
• Detection and mitigation of adversarial attacks
