Third International Workshop on Digital Forensics (WSDF 2010)
To be held in conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2010 – http://www.ares-conference.eu).
February 15th – 18th, 2010
Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow College
Krakow, Poland
Digital forensics is a rapidly evolving field primarily focused on the extraction, preservation and analysis of digital evidence obtained from electronic devices in a manner that is legally acceptable. Research into new methodologies tools and techniques within this domain is necessitated by an ever-increasing dependency on tightly interconnected, complex and pervasive computer systems and networks. The ubiquitous nature of our digital lifestyle presents many avenues for the potential misuse of electronic devices in crimes that directly involve, or are facilitated by, these technologies. The aim of digital forensics is to produce outputs that can help investigators ascertain the overall state of a system. This includes any events that have occurred within the system and entities that have interacted with that system.
Due care has to be taken in the identification, collection, archiving, maintenance, handling and analysis of digital evidence in order to prevent damage to data integrity.
The focus of this workshop is not only restricted to digital forensics in the investigation of crime. It also addresses security applications such as, for example, automated log analysis and forensic aspects of fraud prevention. Today’s environment of media content with increasing storage capacity, and larger and more files than ever before presents another challenge to digital forensic investigators. WSDF aims to bring together experts from academia, industry, government and law enforcement who are interested in advancing the state of the art in digital forensics by exchanging their knowledge, results, ideas and experiences.
