[CFP] Digital Investigation: Special Issue on Volatile Memory Analysis

Digital Investigation: Special Issue on Volatile Memory Analysis

Deadline for submissions is 31 August 2016.

Memory analysis is a hot research topic with wide applications on many fronts - from malware detection and analysis, to recovery of encryption keys, to user activity reconstruction. As advanced contemporary malware increasingly reduces its on-disk footprint, and adopts increasingly sophisticated host detection subversion mechanisms, memory analysis is currently mainstreaming as a valuable technique for detection and response.

While memory analysis presents many new opportunities, it also presents new complications and challenges, ranging from reliance on undocumented program internals, to atomicity of acquisition methodologies. As memory analysis becomes the status quo methodology the use of directed anti-forensics is also becoming prevalent.

This special issue of the Journal of Digital Investigation invites original research papers that report on state-of-the-art and recent advancements in this rapidly expanding area of enquiry, with a particular emphasis on novel techniques and practical applications for the forensic and incident response community.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Malware detection in memory
• Live memory analysis
• Live system introspection
• Memory acquisition
• Memory analysis of large systems
• Userspace and application specific memory analysis
• Cryptographic analysis, key recovery
• Execution history analysis
• Data fusion between memory/disk/network

Aims & Scope

The mission of JDFSL is to publish original research and comments about digital forensics and its relationship to security and law. Contributions are particularly welcome which analyze the results of interdisciplinary research. Publications will include the results of research and case studies that advance the curriculum, practice and understanding of digital forensics methods and techniques to support efficient and effective investigations.
The peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law (JDFSL) focuses on the advancement of the field by publishing the state of the art in both basic and applied research conducted worldwide. We purposefully chose to use the word cyber in our tagline, instead of digital to emphasize the cyber culture surrounding computing, and the word cyber also extends itself beyond the technical domain of computing. The Journal’s main aims are to open up the landscape for innovation and discussion, and to continuously bridge the gap between the science and practice of cyber forensics, security and law. This journal encourages both scientists and practitioners to share their discoveries and experiences. 
JDFSL is of interest to the following stakeholders: cyber forensic/security scientists, cyber security/forensic practitioners, law enforcement officers, lawyers, any governmental agencies with interest in national and local security, and private sector organizations. The Journal will publish the following types of articles:

• Research articles: These articles should have a strong contribution to the state of the art in cyber forensics/security science. Research could be either applied or basic. Although we anticipate that most of the research that will be published will primarily be computer science centric, the Journal strongly encourages topics that stem from other disciplines such as psychology, sociology, business, accounting, law, philosophy, linguistics, education, criminal justice, political science, social science, and ethics, to participate in the advancement of cyber forensic science. We have no preference on the type of methodology used in the research, as long as the work is both methodologically and scientifically grounded.

• Open Peer Commentaries: To ensure that there is constant discussion and deliberations in this field, JDFSL encourages experts in the domain to submit commentaries on the state of the art in the field through open peer commentaries. Commentaries seek to provide a critical and/or alternative perspective on the state of the art in cyber forensics/security. For a commentary to be accepted for publication, it should meet one or more of the following criteria:
  • The contribution should offer significant insight into work that has been published in JDFSL.
  • Novel findings substantially contradict well-established research, theory, and practice.
  • It provides insight into bridging the gap between the science and practice of cyber forensics security.
  • It critiques findings of seminal work, research, or practice in the domain.
  • It offers significant contribution by consolidating findings in research and practice.
  • It improves the multidisciplinary nature of the domain.
  • It reviews and provides insight into both tools and methods used in cyber forensics.

• Book Reviews: The Journal provides a place for peers to share their opinions and reviews of published books in the field of cyber forensics and security science.

[CFP] JDFSL Special issue on Cyberharassment Investigation: Advances and Trends

JDFSL Special issue on Cyberharassment Investigation: Advances and Trends.

Anecdotal evidence indicates that cyber harassment is becoming more prevalent as the use of social media becomes increasingly widespread, making geography and physical proximity irrelevant. Cyberharassment can take different forms (e.g., cyberbullying, cyberstalking, cybertrolling), and be motivated by the objectives of inflicting distress, exercising control, impersonation, and defamation. Investigation of these behaviours is particularly challenging because it involves digital evidence distributed across the digital devices of both alleged offenders and victims, as well as online service providers, sometimes over an extended period of time. As a result, little is currently known about the modus operandi of offenders.

This special issue invites original contributions from researchers and practitioners which focus on the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of digital forensic investigation of cyberharassment of all kinds.  We particularly encourage multidisciplinary contributions that can help examiners to be more effective and efficient in cyberharassment investigations.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Offender psychology and profiling

-Cyberharassment victimology

-Methodologies and process models specific to cyberharassment investigation

-Tools and techniques for dealing with the types of digital evidence encountered in cyberharassment investigation

-Cyberharassment indicators

-Challenges and particularities of different modalities of cyberharassment

-Trends and typologies of cyberharassment

Important dates:

-Paper Submission:                 1 June 2016

-Notification of Initial Decision: 30 June 2016

-Revision due:                     31 July 2016

-Notification of Final Decision:   31 August 2016

-Final Manuscript Due:             30 September 2016

-Publication Date:                 31 October 2016

Author instructions:

The submissions must be blind and original (i.e., must not have been published or be under review by any other publisher). Authors should refer to the following link for instructions: http://www.jdfsl.org/for-authors. The option “Cyberharassment Special Issue” must be selected as article type on JDFSL OJS Submission System.  Further queries can be directed to the guest editors.
