Recent advancements in deep learning algorithms, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Diffusion models, have led to a surge in the creation of highly realistic images and videos, which are often indistinguishable from genuine content to the human
eye. While these developments have benefited the entertainment industry, they are often used to spread misinformation and manipulate public opinion. Moreover, in the security domain, synthetic and manipulated images and videos are frequently utilized to impersonate
individuals, enabling unauthorized parties to bypass systems for biometric authentication gaining illegal access to sensitive information. Accurate detection of fake data is crucial for preventing security breaches and safeguarding the integrity of security
measures and public information. </div>

SRBS aims to present the latest developments in the creation, evaluation, impact, and countermeasures against visual attacks on biometric systems. We invite practitioners, researchers and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, material science, mathematics,
computer vision and machine learning to contribute their expertise to underpin the highlighted challenges. </div>
