Over the last decade, digital forensics has been an emerging field of study for IT-related academics, professionals, and researchers. To investigate how to gather and examine digital evidence in a current software framework, researchers are also concerned in and challenged by the "built-in" questions of how to develop and build forensic awareness in software applications, such that a cooperative environment is created for digital forensic purposes. The Internet has made it easier to access open-source software by offering hackers an incentive to conduct personal attacks. The rapid expansion of the networks and devices of global communication and networking makes investigating cyber-attacks difficult. There is also entering clues to illegal activity in the vast amount of data that need to check for digital forensics and evidence. For law enforcement, national security and information security, the area of digital forensics and cybercrime inquiries has become highly relevant.

The workshop emphasized the role of Digital Forensics in academic and judicial matters and its significant role in information security and software cloning.

This Workshop is in collaboration with:

17th IEEE eScience 2021

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

IEEE eScience 2021 brings together leading interdisciplinary research communities, developers and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The objective of the eScience Conference is to promote and encourage all aspects of eScience and its associated technologies, applications, algorithms and tools with a strong focus on practical solutions and challenges. eScience 2021 interprets eScience in its broadest meaning that enables and improves innovation in data- and compute-intensive research across all domain sciences ranging from traditional areas in physics and earth sciences to more recent fields such as social sciences, arts and humanities, and artificial intelligence for a wide variety of target architectures including HPC, cloud and IoT infrastructures.

Virtual Conference

DiFoSeP is scheduled to be held entirely online on Sept. 20-23, 2021, since it is likely that travel and in-person meeting restrictions will still be in place by the Workshop time.
