The IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) is
the primary annual event organized by the IEEE Signal Processing Society?s
Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee. The objective of WIFS
is to provide the most prominent venue for researchers to exchange ideas and
identify potential areas of collaboration. WIFS?14 will feature keynotes,
tutorials, special sessions, and lecture & poster sessions. For the first time
ever, WIFS is being organized with IEEE GlobalSIP, giving the WIFS community
the opportunity to attend a rich selection of research symposia in addition to
WIFS.

Topics of interest: Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Anonymity & Privacy - Applied Cryptography
- Communication & Physical-Layer Security - Biometrics
- Forensics Analysis - Hardware Security
- Information-Theoretic Security - Multimedia Content Hash
- Security of Large Networked Systems - Steganography
- Surveillance - Usability & Human Factors
- Covert Communication & Side Channel Attacks - Watermarking & Data Hiding

WIFS 2014 will feature a Special Topic: Security and Internet of Things.
Whereas ?Internet of Things? (IoT) is expected to bring tremendous benefit to
society, there are serious concerns about its security, privacy and
trustworthiness. This special topic covers all aspects of security for IoT
with an emphasis on methodologies and techniques that employ signal processing
and information theoretic analysis.

Submission of Papers: Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length,
6-page papers, formatted according to IEEE guidelines, including figures and
references, to the WIFS Technical Program Committee. Papers will be accepted
only by electronic submission via the GlobalSIP 2014 conference website.
