IWBF is an international forum devoted to facilitating synergies in research and development among the areas of multimedia forensics, forensic biometrics, and forensic science. State-of-theart research in areas such as biometrics, forensic science, surveillance, and multimedia forensics will be presented.

The 13th edition of IWBF will be a meeting place for those concerned with the use of advanced biometric technologies in forensic applications, attracting participants from industry, research, academia, and end-users.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Biometrics
• Attacks to biometric recognition systems
• Multimodal biometrics
• Soft biometrics
• Mobile biometrics
• Biometric analysis of crime scenes
• Forensic Science
• Multimedia forensics
• Integrity verification
• Anonymization & Data Privacy
• Data de-identification
• Surveillance
• Ethical and societal implications of biometrics and forensics
• Information Theoretic Security
• Adversarial Signal Processing for biometrics and forensics
• Case studies on the aforementioned topics
