Note

IWDW 2022 attendees will have free online access to the conference proceedings from 8 February to 8 March 2023, which are available at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-25115-3.

Introduction

The 21st International Workshop on Digital-forensics and Watermarking (IWDW 2022) is a premier forum for researchers and practitioners working on novel researches, developments and applications of digital watermarking and forensics techniques for multimedia security. IWDW 2022 is held by Guangxi Normal University and sponsored by Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

We invite submissions of high-quality original research papers. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least 2 reviewers. Two prizes are to be awarded to the best paper and the best student paper, respectively. The proceedings of IWDW 2022 will be published on the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer.

Important Notification: Due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, IWDW 2022 is going to be held as a hybrid conference. That is, attendees from Chinese mainland are requested to attend the conference in person, and the ones from other countries/regions who are unable to make a physical presence at the conference can attend it virtually.
