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. Its major objective is to bring researchers from related disciplines to discuss emerging challenges in different areas of information security and forensics, and share the latest results. This workshop serves to provide a high quality forum for advancing research and development efforts in a range of areas defining e-security and forensics.
The 10th edition of WIFS 2018 will be held in Hong Kong and will feature keynotes, tutorials, special sessions, panel sessions, along with oral and poster sessions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Biometrics
Cryptography
Data Privacy and Anonymity
Communication and Physical-Layer Security
Digital Forensics and Analysis
Hardware Security
Information Theoretic Security
Multimedia Content Hash
Network Security
Security of Large Networked Systems
Steganography and Covert Communications
Surveillance
Usability and Human Factors
Watermarking and Data Hiding
