The SADFE
(Systematic Approaches to Digital Forensic Engineering) International
Workshop promotes systematic approaches to cyber crime investigation,
by furthering the advancement of digital forensic engineering as a
disciplined practice. Digital forensic engineering is
characterized by the application of scientific and mathematical
principles to the investigation and establishment of facts or evidence,
either for use within a court of law or to aid understanding of cyber
crimes or cyber-enabled crimes.
This
year the workshop is collocated and held in conjunction with the 2008
IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, May 18-22, 2008 The Claremont
Resort, Oakland, California, and
is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Security and Privacy.
Workshop
Topics
Digital forensics
faces many challenges, including scale, scope and presentation or
reintegration of primarily technical information and conclusions into a
non technical societal framework.
Digital information now permeates cyber-crimes and cyber-enabled
crimes. It may be available for only nanoseconds or for years; it may
involve only a single bit that has been modified,
or huge volumes of data that may be found locally or spread globally
throughout a variety of infrastructures. Correlating large amounts of
digital information, establishing relevance and reliability and
authenticating electronic evidence may be exceptionally difficult
across geographically dispersed public and proprietary platforms.
To advance the state of the art, SADFE 2008 solicits broad-based,
innovative digital forensic engineering technology, techno-legal and
practice-related submissions in the following four areas:
Digital
Data and Evidence Management: advanced digital
evidence discovery, collection, and storage
- Identification, authentication
and collection of digital evidence
- Post-collection handling of
evidence and the preservation of data integrity
- Evidence preservation and
storage
- Forensic-enabled architectures
and processes, including network processes
- Managing geographically,
politically and/or jurisdictionally dispersed data
- Data and web mining systems for
identification and authentication of relevant data
Principle-based
Digital Forensic Processes: systematic
engineering processes supporting digital evidence management which are
sound on scientific, technical and legal grounds
- Legal and technical aspects of
admissibility and evidence tests
- Examination environments for
digital data
- Courtroom expert witness and
case presentation
- Case studies illustrating
privacy, legal and legislative issues
- Forensic tool validation: legal
implications and issues
- Legal and privacy implications
for digital and computational forensic analysis
Digital Evidence
Analytics: advanced
digital evidence analysis, correlation, and presentation
- Advanced search, analysis, and
presentation of digital evidence
- Progressive cyber crime
scenario analysis and reconstruction technology
- Legal case construction
& digital evidence support
- Cyber-crime strategy analysis
& modeling
- Combining digital and
non-digital evidence
- Supporting qualitative or
statistical evidence
- Computational systems and
computational forensic analysis
Forensic-support
technologies: forensic-enabled
and proactive monitoring/response
- Forensics of embedded or
non-traditional devices (e.g. digicams,
cell phones, SCADA)
- Innovative forensic engineering
tools and applications
- Forensic-enabled support for
incident response
- Forensic tool validation:
methodologies and principles
- Legal and technical
collaboration
- Digital Forensics Surveillance
Technology and Procedures
- “Honeypot”
and other target systems for data collection and monitoring
Instructions for
Paper and Panel Submissions
The
IEEE/SADFE-2008 Program Committee invites three types of submissions:
Full papers
Full
papers present mature research results. Papers accepted for
presentation at the Workshop will be included in the IEEE/SADFE-2008
proceedings, which we anticipate will be published by IEEE Press. Full
papers should be 8-12 pages when formatted according to IEEE
guidelines. Papers must include an abstract and a list of
keywords, and clearly indicate the corresponding author.
"Work-in-Progress"
short papers
These
shorter papers should describe interesting developing work or concept
in the field of digital forensic engineering. These papers should
emphasize the nature of the problem they present, potential solution
and implications/impacts to the field, in such a way that it will
engender community discussion. A selection of these papers will be
presented at IEEE/SADFE-2008 in a Works-in-Progress session.
Work-in-Progress papers should be 3-5 pages long. Work-in-Progress
papers will be included as an appendix in the IEEE/SADFE-2008
proceedings. Authors may participate in only one Work-in-Progress paper
(in the case of multiple submissions, later submissions will be
deleted).
Posters
Describing
work in progress and/or specific tools available without charge to the
research community (ie,
no vendor posters should be submitted). Submissions must consist of a
one-page abstract. Posters will not be included in the proceedings.
Authors of selected posters will have an opportunity to briefly
introduce their work during the meeting.
Each paper
submission will be reviewed by at least three IEEE/SADFE-2008 Program
Committee members. The selection process will be based on review
technical merits. Panel and posters decisions will be made by Program
Chair with recommendations from Program Committee and Steering
Committee.
Double
Submissions, Uniqueness & Presentation
IEEE/SADFE-2008
is intended to support discussion and publication of novel results. To
meet this goal, submissions must not substantially duplicate work that
any of the authors has published elsewhere. Work submitted in parallel
to any other conference or workshop with proceedings is explicitly
excluded from participation. If the work has been submitted elsewhere
in a venue that does not include proceedings, the extent of the
replication and the nature of the other venue should be clearly
indicated in a cover letter submitted along with the paper. Finally,
plagiarism has no place in the scholarly community and the program
committee reserves the right to notify employers and/or others of any
confirmed cases of plagiarism.
For accepted Full
Papers, Posters, and for the Work-in-Progress,
it is required that at least one of the authors attends the conference
to present the paper. The presenting author must be registered by the
date of the camera-ready submission. The deadline for Work-in-Progress
and Full papers is the
same.
All submissions
(papers & panel proposals) must be submitted
electronically, following the instructions to be provided on the
website. Papers must list all authors and their affiliations; in case
of multiple authors, the contact author must be indicated
Workshop
Format
The SADFE
workshop will consist of invited talks, paper presentations and panel
discussions. All presentations, talks and panel discussions will be
made in English.
Proceedings
In order for a
paper to appear in the published proceedings, the authors must present
his/her own paper. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer
Society. Instructions for authors are available at IEEE Computer
Society Conference Publishing Services. (Book Trim Size: 6" x 9" ).
