Proposals for special sessions at WIFS 2019 to complement the regular technical program are welcomed.

A special session consists of at least 3 and up to 6 papers, with a unifying theme that focuses on fields of special and emerging interest to the information forensics and security community.

Proposal Submission: Prospective organizers of Special Sessions should submit
proposals with the following information:

In the last decade, a large number of techniques have been proposed to ensure integrity and authenticity of data in security-oriented applications, e.g. multime-dia forensics, biometrics, watermarking and information hiding, network intrusion detection, reputation systems, etc.... The development of these methods has re-ceived a new boost in the last few years with the advent of Deep Learning (DL) techniques and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).

Dear IFS-TC members,
 
On behalf of the IFS-TC Nominations and Elections Subcommittee, I would like to call for nomination of new TC members.
 
The elected new members will serve from 2019/1/1 to 2021/12/31. Since there are 10 TC members whose term expires at the end of 2018, we expect to elect 10 new members this time.
 
-        Candidates can be self-nominated or nominated by current TC members, retired TC members, as well as established people in the IFS field.
-        The nominator should inform the nominee in advance.

IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) is a unique annual event which is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Biometrics Council and IEEE Signal Processing Society. The 2018 edition of this workshop will be held in Hong Kong. WIFS is the unique workshop series organised by the IEEE Information Forensics and Security (IFS) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

A video tutorial on Multimedia Forensics, by Roberto Caldelli and Rabab Ward, has been recently presented at ICIP 2017.

The video has been produced by IEEE-SPS and IEEE-IFS TC in cooperation with UBC Studios with the intent to widely divulge what Multimedia Forensics can do and its applications.

The video can be accessed through:
