Workshop on Manipulation, Adversarial and Presentation Attacks In Biometrics (MAP-A)
Synthetic content creation has advanced in the past years with new developments deep learning. Newer architectures like Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) can now produce ultra-realistic content with perceptually pleasing geometry and surface texture challenging the human perception. While this realistic content is very welcomed in entertainment sector, the same can pose severe threats to secure access control systems in biometric applications. Image manipulation attacks and video manipulation attacks have now evolved to a better position and can defeat the biometric systems. Another simple yet effective attack is the morphing attack which can compromise multiple identities using a single manipulated image. At the same time, approaches like Face2Face, Neural Textures and DeepFakes can also have a large negative impact on the digital information channels. The attack modes have made use of both traditional manipulation approaches and recent adversarial machine learning approaches (eg., GAN). Several governmental agencies have started to seek for reliable solutions to combat the challenge by funding projects like DARPA MediFor SAVI and DARPA ODIN BATL.
This Workshop On Manipulation, Adversarial and Presentation Attacks In Biometrics in WACV-2022 is being organized to report the advancements in creation, evaluation, impact and mitigation measures for adversarial attacks on biometrics systems. The workshop also targets submissions addressing the analyses and mitigation measures for function creep attacks. This half-day workshop is a fourth edition of the special session held, previously held in conjunction with BTAS-2018, LA, USA, BTAS-2019, Tampa, FL, and WACV 2020, Snowmass, USA respectively.
Papers are invited to report on following topics, but not limited to:
Physical attacks on biometric systems.

Deepfake detection: state-of-the-art and future directions
Talk abstract: In recent years there have been astonishing advances in AI-based synthetic media generation. Thanks to deep learning-based approaches it is now possible to generate data with a high level of realism. While this opens up new opportunities for the entertainment industry, it simultaneously undermines the reliability of multimedia content and supports the spread of false or manipulated information on the Internet. This is especially true for human faces, allowing to easily create new identities or change only some specific attributes of a real face in a video, so-called deepfakes. In this context, it is important to develop automated tools to detect manipulated media in a reliable and timely manner. This talk will describe the most reliable deep learning-based approaches for detecting deepfakes, with a focus on those that enable domain generalization. The results will be presented on challenging datasets with reference to realistic scenarios, such as the dissemination of manipulated images and videos on social networks. Finally, new possible directions will be outlined.

Biometrics Under Attack – Where Do We Go From Here?
Talk abstract: Biometrics (face, iris and fingerprint) have recently become the ubiquitous authentication and access control method, all the way from personal devices, such as smart phones and laptops, to airport security (e.g. CLEAR and IDEMIA). However, these biometric systems present a wide attack surface with multiple opportunities for adversaries to use (physical) presentation attacks as well as digital attacks, exploiting synthetic and manipulated biometrics, such as deepfakes. In the first part of the talk, I will briefly discuss the vulnerabilities of biometric systems, and the challenges of ensuring the security of these systems, in the age of deep learning. I will then discuss state-of-the-art approaches for detecting physical and digital attacks, including unknown or yet-to-be-seen attacks. In the second part of the talk, I will wrap up with conclusions and thoughts for future directions for biometric security and ethical artificial intelligence in general.
