Scope
Governments and organizations across the world are increasingly adopting digital forensic tools and biometric technologies to face identification frauds, civil crimes, and terrorism. Along this line, a big effort has been spent to promote worldwide adoption of biometric Identification documents such as biometric e-passport, bank cards, etc.
Although the goals of biometrics and forensics are different, they are both aimed at supporting law enforcement and investigation by exploiting technologies that change and evolve on a daily basis. Increasingly, new scenarios arise where techniques designed for biometrics can be utilized for forensic purposes, or vice-versa. This is the case of multiple face or fingerprint images captured with low-quality devices, which can be processed with super resolution techniques to reconstruct a high resolution image. In a similar way, sketches drawn by forensic artists based on witnesses’ description can be treated with hallucination techniques to tentatively identify the subject.
The 2nd International Workshop on Recent Advances in Digital Security: Biometrics and Forensics (BioFor 2019) focuses on the ongoing research in the fields of security, forensics, and biometrics, which include many key sectors like Forensics Analysis, Watermarking & Data Hiding, Steganography, Surveillance, Biometrics and Soft Biometrics, Biometric analysis of crime scene traces, etc. It also aims to be an international forum where scientist and researchers can develop synergies between the biometrics and forensic research areas.
Submission Guidelines
The submission and review process will be managed with the EasyChair system. Link to submission site
The Proceedings of the BioFor 2019 workshop will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The length of the papers is maximum 8 pages (with references included; always an even number of pages). There is no minimum paper length. Papers will be selected by a single blind (reviewers are anonymous) review process based on their originality, relevance, and clarity of presentation.
