16th IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION FORENSICS AND SECURITY 
(WIFS) 2024

ROME, ITALY, DECEMBER 2-5, 2024

https://wifs2024.uniroma3.it

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
