We invite potential authors to submit articles on the following topics but will not be limited to only these.

• Forensics: evidence recovery; evidence validation; media forensics; source attribution; incident response; and counter forensics

• Information and system security: authentication, vulnerability discovery/assessment; malware analysis; cyber-physical systems; mobile and intelligent devices; and physical layer fingerprinting

• Biometrics: new biometric modalities; pattern recognition; multimodal decision 
making; and feature extraction

• Multimedia content security: cryptography for multimedia; hashing; and data hiding

• Steganography and covert communications

• Hardware security: hardware trojans; PUFS; and anti-counterfeiting

• Network traffic analysis

• Surveillance: tracking; person (re-)identification; crowd analysis; and anti-surveillance 
and de-identification

• Sousvelliance and anti-sousveillance: users collecting data from other users instead of authorities; possibilities and risks.*
