Introduction to Digital Forensics: Education, Research, and Practice Minitrack

The field of digital forensics has evolved to allow security professionals to examine evidence from the increasing plethora of digital devices to help determine what individuals might have done in the past. The evidence collected is used in a wide variety of settings: from corporate server farms to police raids on criminals´ houses to the modern battlefield, and now to international cloud environments. This year, we accepted three papers for presentation in the Digital Forensics - Education and Research Minitrack which should promote some interesting discussions in some emerging areas of digital forensics. The papers in this session represent much of the ongoing work in the forensics community and are an exciting representation of a larger body of work dedicated to ensuring that digital evidence remains available and useful for the good of the public.
