Call for Papers

First IEEE International Workshop on
Security and Forensics in Communication Systems (SFCS 2012)

In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012
Ottawa, Canada 10-15 June 2012

http://sites.google.com/site/sfcs2012/

Digital attacks are continuing to increase at an alarming rate. They target
a wide variety of protocols and communication systems ranging from servers
and end-user machines to wireless and mobile networks and devices. The
absence of supporting evidence and technically sound methods may prevent
administrators from: proving the identity of the guilty party, identifying
the root vulnerability to prevent a future occurrence of a similar
incident, and understanding the attacker’s motivation for an efficient
design of security solutions. In this context, digital forensic engineering
is emerging as a disciplined science in charge of developing novel
scientific and theoretical methods, techniques, and approaches to collect,
process, and analyze information retrieved from systems affected by
security incidents and generate conclusive descriptions.

The SFCS 2012 Workshop will bring together researchers, scientists,
engineers and practitioners involved in research in the fields of
communication systems security and forensics, to present their latest
research findings, ideas, and developments.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Formal aspects of network security
- Theoretical techniques of digital forensics
- Embedded and handled devices forensic
- Evidence preservation, management, storage, reassembly, and analysis
- Anti-forensics prevention detection and analysis
- Development of Investigation processes and procedures
- Automated analysis of evidence
- Forensics in multimedia and communication protocols
- Security and Investigation techniques in wireless and mobile
communication systems
- Risk analysis and management in communication systems
- Social networks security and forensics
- Collaborative and distributed digital investigation
- Hypothetical reasoning in forensics and incident response
- Legal and policy issues in digital forensics
- Intrusion Detection, incident response, and evidence handling
- Vulnerability analysis and assessment, and analysis of malware
- Cryptography and forensics techniques in multimedia communication
- Data hiding, extraction, and recovery techniques
- Techniques for Tracking and traceback of attacks in systems and networks
- Availability, privacy, authentication, and anonymity
- Secure e-services, e-government, e-learning, e-voting, and m-commerce
applications
- File systems memory analysis
- Infrastructure protection, and Virtual Private Networks security
- Storage system protection and forensics
- Physical and Biometric security

Authors are invited to submit papers representing original work, which must
not be published previously or under consideration for publication
elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum
paper length of five (5) printed pages (IEEE style), but one additional
page is allowed with additional publication fee. All papers will be peer
reviewed by TPC members and other experts in the field of security and
digital forensics. A detailed description of papers submission procedure is
available in the ICC 2012 web site. Papers submission is handled via EDAS.
