[DFSci] [CFP] Deadline Approaching: 22nd June - International Workshop on Cloud Security and Forensics

[Mark Scanlon]

Second International Workshop on Cloud Security and Forensics (WCSF 2016)
Co-located with the Sixth International Sixth International Conference on
Innovative Computing Technology (INTECH 2016)
August 24-26, Dublin, Ireland

Technically co-sponsored by UK & Ireland IEEE
Xplore publishing

Cloud computing offers utility oriented Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) services to users all over the world. The evolution of
cloud computing is driving the design of data centres by architecting them
as networks of virtual services; this enables users to access and run
applications from anywhere in the world. As the prevalence and usage of
networked cloud computer systems increases, logically the security of these
systems can pose significant security concerns and the likelihood of these
systems being used for criminal behaviour also increases. Thus, this new
computing evolution has a direct effect on, and creates challenges for,
cyber security and digital forensic practitioners.

The field of digital forensics has grown rapidly over the last decade due
to the rise of the Internet and associated crimes; however while the theory
is well established, the practical application of the discipline is still
new and developing. Law enforcement agencies can no longer rely on
traditional digital forensic methods of data acquisition through device
seizure to gather relevant evidence pertaining to an investigation from
cloud sources. Using traditional digital forensic methods will lead to the
loss or overlooking of valuable evidential material hosted on cloud-­-based
infrastructures.Cloud computing and its impact on digital forensics will
continue to grow and traditional digital forensics methods are inadequate
for cloud forensic investigations.

Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to:

   - Cloud Forensics and e-Discovery
   - Intrusion and Attack Readiness
   - Cloud Cryptography
   - Data centre and Data Security
   - Big Data Forensics
   - Security and Privacy for Cloud Computing
   - Trust and Policy Management
   - Case Studies of Cloud-­-based Attacks
   - Cloud Data Recovery
   - Private Cloud Security
   - Network Security and Forensics
   - Mobile Cloud Security and Forensics
   - Forensics GIS
