CALL FOR PAPERS

6rd International Workshop on Cybersecurity and Biometrics 2019

in conjunction with

ACM/IEEE 2019 International Conference on CyberWorlds CW 2019

October 2-4, 2019 Kyoto, Japan

Workshop Description

International Conference on CyberWorlds is a well-established key international event in the field of virtual worlds and computer graphics. The conference is designated as ACM SIGGRAPH small conference, and is supported by Eurographics and IEEE, with proceedings published by IEEE-CS. Recently, the research focus has shifted towards security and privacy aspects in virtual worlds, with cybersecurity emerged as one of the emerging research directions. Security research domain has recently witnessed tremendous growth in respect to all aspects of information access and sharing. There has been notable progress in developing successful approaches to tackle the problem of user authentication. Among those approaches, biometric-based authentication firmly established itself as one of the most reliable, efficient, and versatile tools for providing discretionary access control to a secure resource or system. While state-of-the art methods for biometric authentication are becoming increasingly more popular and better understood, the same unfortunately cannot be said about security of users populating on-line communities or cyberworld.

The workshop invites high-quality, original and previously unpublished research in all areas of biometric and cyber security, including both theoretical foundations, system design, empirical studies on individual and multi-modal biometrics, as well as emerging biometric research trends. Image processing, machine intelligence, cognitive sciences and information fusion provide strong theoretical foundations and drive current state-pf-the-art biometric research. Biometric template protection, on-line security, social biometrics, context-based biometrics, cancelable biometrics, robotic biometrics are emerging areas of biometric, which fit perfectly with overall Cyberworlds Conference themes.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Security protocols; Authentication protocols; Privacy protocols; Password security; Security of personal data; Content protection and digital rights management; Risk and reputation management; Identity and trust management; Privacy, security and trust in social media; Security of embedded systems; Behavioral biometrics; Performance evaluation of biometric systems; Multi-biometrics; Biometric fusion; Cancelable biometrics: Quality of biometric data; Biometric template protection; Presentation attack detection; Cloud computing and Biometrics; Emerging biometrics
