In recent years the ubiquity of mobile computing platforms such as smartphones and tablet devices has rapidly increased. These devices provide a range of interaction in an untethered environment unimaginable a decade previously.  With this ability to interact with services and individuals, comes the need to accurately authenticate the identity of the person requesting the transaction, many of which may carry financial or legally-binding instruction.

Candidates are sought for a 2-year (renewable) post-doctoral fellowship position to work at the Reasoning for Complex Data (Recod) Lab. (http://www.recod.ic.unicamp.br/) at the Institute of Computing (www.ic.unicamp.br/en), University of Campinas, Unicamp (www.unicamp.br/index.php/english), Campinas, SP, Brazil. 

EAB is launching a call for nominations for the twelfth European Biometrics Research and Industry Awards. These prestigious awards are granted annually to individuals who have been judged by a panel of internationally respected experts to be making a significant contribution to the field of biometrics research and innovations in Europe.

The 2018 IEEE-EURASIP Summer School on Signal Processing (S3P-2018) is the 6th edition of a successful series, organized by the IEEE SPS Italy Chapter and the National Telecommunications and Information Technologies Group – GTTI,  with the sponsorship of IEEE (S3P program) and EURASIP (Seasonal School Co-Sponsorship agreement).

The school will be held in San Vincenzo (Livorno), Italy, September 10-14, 2018.

The theme of the 6th edition of the school is Signal Processing for Information Security

Two Postdoctoral Research Fellows in watermarking and cryptography are sought at the IMT Atlantique/LaTIM/IMAGINE research team to work on a project on the security of big data, and on a project on the security of genetic data.

The Technical Committee on Information Forensics and Security (IFS-TC) is inviting proposals for its flagship workshop WIFS, to be held in Fall/Winter2018. The workshop is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the Biometrics Council (BMC). The proposal
should target an audience around 120-160 attendees. Interested groups and individuals are strongly encouraged to approach the members of the IEEE IFS-TC WIFS subcommittee to openly discuss and improve their proposals¹. The proposals should be complete and detailed.

The IEEE international Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) is the primary annual event organized by the IEEE Information Forensics and Security (IFS) Technical Committee with the technical sponsorship of the IEEE Biometrics Council. Its major objective is to bring together researchers from relevant disciplines to exchange new ideas and the latest results and to discuss emerging challenges in different areas of information security. The 9th edition of WIFS will be held in Rennes, France, from December 4 to December 7, 2017.
