CFSE 2014 - 6th Workshop on Computer forensics in software Engineering

The theme of the workshop is to advance research on a legal-activity-enforced cyber environment. We need to build forensics into software so that evidence of cybercrime can be collected more efficiently, cyber attacks on critical infrastructures can be prevented more effectively, and anonymity and privacy can be preserved more confidently. In addition to the study of “after the fact” issues on collection, examination, and analysis of digital evidence, paying attention to computer forensics issues in an early stage of software development has become an urgent need as our society relies more and more on the Internet. In this workshop, we will turn our focus to the foundations of cyberspace to investigate “built-in” issues, such as how to build a software environment that better serves the purpose of computer forensics. The effort to build forensics “by design” will make cyberspace more friendly in a later forensic search and investigation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Anti-Plagiarism Technology
