Workshop on Databases in Biometrics, Forensics and Security Applications (DBforBFS) Jana Dittmann, Arno Fischer, Gunter Saake, Claus Vielhauer The 1st Workshop on Databases in Biometrics, Forensics and Security Applications (DBforBFS) is a satellite, half-day workshop of the BTW 2013 at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg in Germany, March 11/12, 2013. The workshop is intended for discussing new challenges, innovations, recent experiences and knowledge in the areas of databases in the focus for biometrics, forensics and security. The workshop goal is to bring special, important research topics together enhancing the general BTW conference scope. Motivated by today’s challenges from the disciplines six papers have been accepted covering topics about: authentication challenges, forensic trace requirements and its privacy, GPU co-processing and information leakage aspects. We hope, that the workshop stimulates exchange and discussion between different experts. We thank all BTW organizers, workshop chairs and committees for accepting and supporting the workshop as well as all authors for their valuable contributions.
