*2nd International Workshop on Cyber Forensics and Threat Investigations
Challenges*

                     *October 10-11, 2022, Taking Place Virtually from the
UK*

Cyber forensics and threat investigations has rapidly emerged as a new
field of research to provide the key elements for maintaining security,
reliability, and trustworthiness of the next generation of emerging
technologies such as the internet of things, cyber-physical systems,
cloud/edge/fog computing, software-defined network, and network function
virtualization. Complicated efforts are required in suitable and timely
manners against any threats detected within these systems. Moreover, new
frameworks are required to collect and preserve potential evidential data
in suitable and timely manners as well. To guarantee proper cyber-defenses
and strategies against the expanding landscape of criminal activities as
well as rapidly advancing emerging technologies.

The main motivation for this Workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working on cyber forensics and threat investigations for
emerging infrastructures to disseminate current research issues and
advances. Original technical papers describing new, state-of-the-art
research, will be considered. The Workshop welcomes submissions that
evaluate existing research results by reproducing experiments. The aim of
this workshop is to provide insight for the discussion of the major
research challenges and achievements on various topics of interest.

*Important Dates*

*Technical Paper Submission Deadline: **15 September 2022*

*Poster and Demo Track Submission Deadline: **20 September 2022*

Scope of The Workshop

*Technical Paper Track*

Papers on practical as well as theoretical topics and problems in various
topics related to cyber forensics and threat investigations are invited,
with special emphasis on novel techniques and tools to collect data from
networked systems and services in emerging technologies (such as the ones
can be found in cyber-physical systems and Internet of things,
cloud/edge/fog computing, software-defined network, and network function
virtualization). Topics include (but are not limited to):

·        Forensics and threat investigations in IoT

·        Forensics and threat investigations in peer-to-peer, and social
networks

·        Forensics and threat investigations in SDN/NFV

·        Forensics and threat investigations in Cloud Computing

·        Forensics and threat investigations in Smart Technologies Systems
(Smart Cars, Smart Homes, Smart Cities)

·        Dark Web Investigations, Forensics, and Monitoring

·        Forensics and threat investigations in Virtual private networks

·        Security and Privacy in Clouds, Fog Computing, and 5G, and 6G

·        Security and Privacy in IoT, SDN/NFV, and Edge Computing

·        Security and Privacy in Smart Technologies Systems (Smart Cars,
Smart Homes, Smart Cities)

·        Forensics and visualization of Big Data

·        Trusted Computing in Smart Technologies Systems (Smart Cars, Smart
Homes, Smart Cities)

·        Tools and services for cyber forensics and threat investigations

·        OSINT (Open Source Intelligence)

·        Cooperative and distributed forensics and threat investigations

·        Advanced threat investigations, forensic and anti-forensic
techniques

·        Attack detection, traceback and attribution in Emerging
Technologies

·        Malware Analysis and Attribution

·        Digital Evidence Extraction/Analysis using Artificial
intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Mining

·        Data exfiltration techniques from networked devices and services
(e.g. cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things)

·        Methods for reconstruction of Digital Evidence in Emerging
Technologies

·        Forensics and threat investigations in E-health/M-health

·        Vulnerability & threat detection and mitigation techniques for
networked services

·        Novel large-scale investigations and Machine Learning techniques
to analyze intelligence data sets and logs

We also encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of
cybersecurity, cyber defense, and digital crimes.

*Poster and Demo Track*

CFTIC 2022 solicits the submission of posters and demos on specific aspects
of cyber forensics and threat investigations, particularly related to the
subject areas indicated by the CFTIC 2022 topics of interest. Posters
provide a forum for authors to present their work in an informal and
interactive setting. They allow authors and interested participants to
engage in discussions about their work. In particular, a poster submission
should motivate its relevance to the communities of cyber forensics and
threat investigations, and summarize the main challenges, experiences, and
novel ideas. A demonstration should present an existing tool or research
prototype. Authors are expected to provide a demonstration during the
poster and demonstration session. A demonstration submission should clearly
describe the motivation, the novelty of the contribution, and the
applicability of the tool or prototype to specific use cases. Posters or
demonstrations can be submitted for evaluation in the form of an extended
abstract. Submissions are limited to 1 page including references. All
submissions must present only original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review at any other venue. Demonstrations must include in
the abstract of the paper a link to a video of up to 5 minutes hosted in a
permanent location. The video must show the existing tool or research
prototype in action. Moreover, demonstrations are encouraged to include a
link to a website where the source code of the produced software is
available when it is possible.

Submission

Paper submissions must present original research or experiences.
Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research
are also encouraged. Only original papers that have not been published or
submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Also, extended
versions of conference or workshop papers that are already published may be
considered as long as the additional contribution is at least 30% new
content from the original. Each submission must be written in English,
accompanied by a 75 to 200-word abstract, and a list of up to 5 keywords.
There is a length limitation of 4 pages (at least 10pt font, one-column
format) for extended abstracts including (title, abstract, figures, tables,
and references). Submissions must be in ECEASST-CFTIC 2022 template.
Authors should submit their papers electronically via the EasyChair online
submission system <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cftic2022>.
