Scope of the workshop:

The evolve of networked technologies, such as the internet of things
and cyber-physical systems, possess challenges base on the highly
limited capabilities of their infrastructure devices and the type of
data that can be processed by these devices. Complicated efforts are
required in suitable and timely manners against any detected threats.
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 network
technologies such as SDN or 5G and 6G.

There is a growing need for new methodologies, tools, and techniques,
capable of extracting, preserving, and analyzing different evidence
trails in various networked services and devices such as routers,
firewalls, web proxies, and network monitoring tools. Additionally,
there is also a growing need for research in new systems that are
capable of analyzing network traffic, netflows, and systems logs.
Satisfying these demands will aid in reconstructing the timeline of
the cyber-crime/attack under investigation and, possibly, the
identification of the potential actor(s).

The main motivation for this Workshop is to bring together researchers
and practitioners working on cyber forensics and threat investigations
for emerging networks 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.

CFATI 2020 will be held in conjunction with the  11th International
Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and Pervasive Networks
(EUSPN 2020) which is co-organized on November 2-5, 2020, Madeira,
Portugal.

Papers on practical as well as on 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 devices and services in emerging networks
(such as the ones can be found in cyber-physical systems and Internet
of things). Topics include (but are not limited to):

·       Advanced threat investigations, forensic and anti-forensic techniques
·       Cooperative and distributed forensics and threat investigations
·       Data exfiltration techniques from networked devices and
services (e.g. cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things)
·       Attack detection, traceback, and attribution in SDN, 5G, and 6G
·       Methods for reconstruction of internet activities in SDN, 5G, and 6G
·       Forensics and threat investigations in IoT
·       Forensics and threat investigations in peer-to-peer, social,
and cloud networks
·       Vulnerability & threat detection and mitigation techniques for
networked services
·       Novel large-scale investigations techniques to analyze
intelligence data sets and logs
·       Tools and services for cyber forensics and threat investigations
·       VoIP forensics, VoIPoW forensics

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