The development of techniques for creating completely synthetic photographic images, videos and audio sequences, as well as the increasing prevalence of disinformation associated with such synthetic media, has sparked an interest in the computer community. One such issue is the proliferation of deepfakes. However, much of the research is devoted to outwitting the state of the art to generate and detect fabricated images and videos. Considering them from the perspective of computer security and human ethics is largely ignored. As such, this workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and methodologies, and to offer academia and industry insights into the development and identification of fake media from a computer security perspective.

Submissions will centre on the following themes, while also considering additional relevant topics: deepfake, disinformation and deception.
