Workshop Objectives
The possibility
of becoming a victim of cyber crime is the
number one fear of billions of people online. In the
years of fighting against cyber-crimes and cyber-enabled crimes, we
have seen that digital evidence may often be available for a very
short period of time and/or involve huge volumes of data that are
found locally on a single digital device or spread globally across
dispersed public and proprietary platforms. The field of Digital
Forensics faces many challenges and difficult problems.
The goal of this workshop is to
identify important digital
forensic problems and research directions, and to stimulate community efforts
on the development of scientific foundation for digital forensics
and new theories and practical techniques towards addressing these
problems.
We invite one-page short statement
of ideas addressing the problems and topics of interest for the
workshop. The workshop
discussions will be initiated by presentations from invited
speakers, each representing a different perspective related to
digital forensics and views from law enforcement, military,
industry, and academia. These presentations will be used to form the
basis of the workshop discussions to follow. The remainder of the
workshop will be devoted to group discussions led by group
coordinators on a selected list of important topics in digital
forensics. Topics of
relevance include, but are not limited to:
-
Scientific Foundation and Models, and the Law
-
Digital Evidence
Discovery, Collection, Recovery, and Storage
-
Digital Evidence
Analysis
-
Network Forensics
-
Digital
Forensics Tool Validation
-
Anti-forensics Techniques
Travel
support is available for a
limited number of invited attendees who need assistance.
