The International Conference on Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime
(ICDF2C) brings together leading researchers, practitioners, and
educators from around the world to advance the state of the art in
digital forensic and cyber crime investigation. ICDF2C 2016 will be held
September 28 - 30, 2016 in Manhattan, New York. We invite contributions
for completed research papers, research-in-progress papers, industrial
talks, panel and tutorial proposals, and round table discussions.
Research papers are evaluated through a double-blind, peer-reviewing
process and accepted research papers will be published in a special
issue of the Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law (JDFSL).
JDFSL is an open access journal with a solid indexing including Thomson
Reuters ISI Web of Science. Accepted papers will be indexed in: a)
Google Scholar b) DBLP c) ProQuest d) EBSCO Host to name a few. Articles
will be available for readers online at no cost given the open access
nature of the journal. To learn more about JDFSL you can visit:
SPECIAL THEMES
This year, we have two themes that we intend to embrace. Authors are
encouraged to submit papers relating to these themes:
• Usage and implications of machine learning in digital forensics
• Big data and digital forensics
SCOPE
The Internet has made it easier to perpetrate crimes by providing
criminals an avenue for launching attacks with relative anonymity. The
increased complexity of global communication and networking
infrastructure and devices makes investigation of cybercrimes difficult.
Clues of illegal activities are often buried in large volumes of data
that need to be sifted through in order to detect crimes and collect
evidence. The field of digital forensics and cybercrime investigation
has become very important for law enforcement, national security, and
information assurance. Digital forensics and cybercrime investigations
are multidisciplinary areas that encompass law, computer science,
finance, telecommunications, data analytics, policing and more. ICDF2C
brings together practitioners and researchers from diverse fields
providing opportunities for business and intellectual engagement among
attendees.
The following topics highlight the conference's theme:
• Anti Forensics and Anti-Anti Forensics
• Big Data and Digital Forensics
• Business Applications of Digital Forensics
• Civil Litigation Support
• Cloud Forensics
• Cyber Crime Investigations
• Cyber Criminal Psychology and Profiling
• Cyber Culture & Cyber Terrorism
• Data hiding and steganography
• Database Forensics
• Digital Forensic Science
• Digital Forensic Tool Testing and validation
• Digital Forensic Trends
• Digital Forensics & Law
• Digital Forensics and Error rates
• Digital Forensics novel algorithms
• Digital Forensics Process & Procedures
• Digital Forensics Standardization & Accreditation
• Digital Forensics Techniques and Tools
• Digital Forensics Triage
