CSDFC: Special Session on Cyber Security, Digital Forensics & Cryptography

The fields of cyber security, digital forensics and cryptography have grown rapidly over the last decade due to the rise of the Internet, smart devices, artificial intelligence and associated crimes. As the prevalence and usage of network systems and digital devices increases, it poses significant security concerns and increases the likelihood of these systems being used for criminal and malicious activities. The existing security controls and mitigation techniques could be no longer valid and adaptive to the evolving cybersecurity landscape, raising challenges for security and digital forensic practitioners. This special session seeks novel research and high quality submissions that are solicited in the areas of cyber security digital forensics and cryptography. Topics of interest comprise but are not limited to:
