NFSP 2013 - The Second International Workshop on Network Forensics, Security and Privacy (NFSP 2013)

Cyberspace has been reshaped as an integration of businesses, governments and individuals, such as e-business, communication and social life. At the same time, it has also been providing convenient platforms for crimes, such as financial fraud, information phishing, distributed denial of service attacks, and fake message propagation. Especially, the emergence of social networks has raised significant security and privacy issues to the public. We have seen news of various network related security attacks from time to time, and defenders are usually vulnerable to detect, mitigate and traceback to the source of attacks. It is a new research challenge of fighting against criminals in the cyber space. The potential solutions involve various disciplines, such as networking, watermarking, information theory, game theory, mathematical and statistical modelling, data mining, artificial intelligence, multimedia processing, neural network, pattern recognition, cryptography and forensic criminology, etc.
NFSP-13 will be held at Philadelphia, USA, injunction ICDCS 2013, which is one of the top conferences in computer science.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
Anonymous system and forensics
IP traceback
Malware detection
Botnet identification
Networked video system
Biometric security and forensics
Emotion identification via video
Wireless network security
Game theory in network security
Data Mining for security
DDoS attacks

Distributed systems and forensics
System security and forensics
Intrusion detection
Wireless network privacy
Information theory in network security
Multimedia in network security
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Â All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format. Long Paper submission can have 10 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages. If the paper is accepted for publication, an over-length fee will be charged to each of the over-length pages, at $200 per page in the final camera-ready version. Short Papers, on the other hand, are allowed to be up to 5 pages. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
