CID 2016 - First IFIP NTMS International Workshop on Cybercrime Investigation and Digital forensics (CID)

First IFIP NTMS International Workshop on
Cybercrime Investigation and Digital forensics (CID)
in conjunction with the
8th IFIP International Conference on
New Technologies, Mobility and Security (NTMS)
21-23 November 2016, Cyprus
The purpose of the workshop is to explore the challenges faced by
researchers, practitioners, and non-technical professionals in the area of
digital and cybercrime investigation. This workshop will provide a forum for
law enforcement, judiciary and industry to share their problems and
challenges with people from academia and industry for possible solution to
meet their needs. This will promote collaboration between industry, academia
and R&D and will help the collaborating partners to benefit from each
other’s resources and expertise in the domain.
The workshop will include talks and tutorials on innovative tools and
techniques such as state-of-the-art software and hardware solutions,
theories and algorithms, experimental results, and formal and mathematical
models.
Scope
The unprecedented increase in online crimes including identify theft,
phishing and social engineering attacks has increased the need for digital
forensics. Digital forensics is aimed to collect, analyze, and present
digital evidence to prosecute cybercriminals in the court of law. Digital
forensics is becoming more challenging due to tremendous increase in
ubiquities computing, emergence of new technologies such as cloud computing
and with influx of plethora of smart devices. Finding potential evidence
related to a crime is no more an issue due to availability of network logs,
chat logs, web forums, emails and social networking posts. The challenge is
to precisely analyze large volumes of data in timely manner and collect
forensic evidence related to crimes being investigated.
Digital forensics is employed for fraud detection, homeland security,
financial scams investigation and for revealing discrepancies in business
transactions. The increased computing power, storage capability and the
development of innovative machine learning and data analytics techniques are
playing a vital role in digital forensics. New legislation and revising
exiting laws to adequately cover the new online crimes is imperative. The
workshop is covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Forensic processes and procedures
- Digital Forensic: challenges and common practices
- Network and log forensics
- Memory forensics
- Flash and physical memory forensics
- Software and hardware forensic tools
- Small-scale digital devices forensics
- Smart toy and gaming console forensics
- Messaging forensics
- Anti-Forensic and steganography
- Cloud forensics: technical, jurisdiction and legal challenges
- Digital forensics and cybercrime laws
- Role of Big Data in forensic analysis
- IoT forensics
- Drone forensics
- Cybercrime laws and procedures
- Digital forensics and social crimes
- Digital forensics and financial crimes including money laundering
- Digital forensics and cyber stalking and cyberbullying
- Digital forensics and homeland security
- Digital forensics and operating systems platforms and file system
- Digital crimes and international laws
- Socio-linguistics and criminology
- Email forensics
- Digital crime scene investigation
- Digital forensics tools testing and evaluation
