SFCS 2014 - Second international workshop on Security and Forensics in Communication Systems (ASIACCS-SFCS2014)

Digital attacks are continuing to increase at an alarming rate. They target a wide variety of protocols and communication systems ranging from servers and end-user machines to wireless and mobile networks and devices. The absence of supporting evidence and technically sound methods may prevent administrators from: proving the identity of the guilty party, identifying the root vulnerability to prevent a future occurrence of a similar incident, and understanding the attacker’s motivation for an efficient design of security solutions.
In this context, digital forensic engineering is emerging as a disciplined science in charge of developing novel scientific and theoretical methods, techniques, and approaches to collect, process, and analyze information retrieved from systems affected by security incidents to generate conclusive descriptions.
The SFCS 2014 Workshop will be held in conjunction with the 9th ACM Symposium on Information, Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS). It will bring together researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners involved in research in the fields of communication systems security and forensics, to present their latest research findings, ideas, and developments. The workshop will act as a forum for discussing open issues, and presenting original and unpublished research results and innovative ideas in the realm of security and digital forensics. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of security and digital forensics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Formal and theoretical techniques of digital forensics
Automated reasoning techniques of evidence analysis
Evidentiary aspects of digital forensics
Hypothetical reasoning in forensics and incident response
