Cyber attacks are occurring at unprecedented levels on both legacy and state-of-the-art systems that are vital to our society for media, social interaction, manufacturing, healthcare and energy. Given that attacks are occurring in unexpected ways at different scales, the problem of cyber defense has become an interdisciplinary area that scales across all technologies. Data science, image processing and machine learning based methods are increasingly becoming critical to develop new integrated cloud services to enhance security and privacy of high volume, high value, imaging and multimodal sensor data. There is a need to apply trusted computing techniques in software and hardware associated with applied imagery pattern recognition solutions. Issues with resource constraints as well as human/behavioral aspects create new challenges in increasing the resilience of complex data environments. Further, the rise of social media has created new attack surfaces relating to image/video privacy, veracity, provenance and public perception. Tamper proofing vision, image analysis, AI and machine learning methods will be critical to the adoption of cloud services and ensuring trust in newly emerging autonomous applications. The 2020 IEEE AIPR Workshop will explore these trusted computing applications and multimedia workflows for improving privacy, cybersecurity, trusted social media, resilience of systems for video analytics, and safety of machine learning and autonomous systems.
The Workshop Committee invites papers that address all aspects of how trusted computing can be used to improve cybersecurity, resilience and privacy of multimedia including utilizing robust techniques, methodologies and algorithms from pattern recognition, development of novel tools, and theory and mechanisms of cyber defense operations. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cybersecurity & Privacy issues in AI, Autonomy, Pattern Recognition
- Generating Deep Fakes in multimedia (images, video, speech, etc.)
- Deep Fake Detection and Characterization / Image Forgery Detection
- Fault-tolerant 3D Computer Vision
- Securing Multimedia Using Block Chains and Related Technologies to Track Computational Cognition and Provenance
