The 15th edition of WIFS will take place in Nuremberg, Germany. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Applied Cryptography
- Biometrics
- Blockchain security and privacy
- Communication and Physical Layer Security
- Data Privacy and Anonymity
- Deep Learning for Forensics
- Hardware Security
- Information Theoretic Security
- Multimedia Forensics
- Steganography, Steganalysis and Covert Communications
- Watermarking, Data Hiding and Content Protection

Regular submission to WIFS 2023 can be up to 6 double-column pages including references and figures. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.
