IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy
Call For Papers

SADFE-2016 is concerned with the generation, analysis and sustainability of digital evidence and evolving t tools and techniques that are used in this effort. Advancement in this field requires innovative methods, systems, and practices, which are grounded in solid research coupled with an understanding of user needs. Digital forensics at SADFE focuses on the issues introduced by the coupling of rapidly advancing technologies and increased globalization. We believe digital forensic engineering is vital to security, the administration of justice and the evolution of culture.
