The IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) is the primary annual event organized by the IEEE’s Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee (IEEE IFS TC).

WIFS is 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. With this focus, we hope that researchers will identify new opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and gain new perspectives.

The conference will feature prominent keynote speakers, tutorials, and lecture sessions. Appropriate topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Computer security
o intrusion detection
o vulnerability analysis
o cloud security
* Biometrics
