- Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more

- The event is held in conjunction with InfoSecurity Russia

- The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation (www.eai.eu<http://www.eai.eu>), a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT.

Keeping up with our international theme at ICDF2C, we are proud to announce this year that ICDF2C 2013 will run in parallel to InfoSecurity Russia 2013, the premiere information security industry event in Russia.

We are also proud to announce that starting with this year's conference, ICDF2C is collaborating with the Journal of Digital Investigation, the leading international journal in the area of digital forensics and incident response. In addition to the publication of the proceedings in the Lecture Notes of the ICST, the best research papers presented at ICDF2C 2013 will be expanded and peer reviewed for a special issue of the Journal of Digital Investigation.

Participants in the 2013 conference will be able to attend both the InfoSecurity Russia event and ICDF2C and hear the latest developments in both research and industry. The conference provides a venue which offers chances for networking and high-quality training through expert speakers, state-of-the-art work from researchers all around the world, and tutorials on digital forensic techniques and methods of cyber crime investigation. This ICST conference is endorsed by EAI.

[Scope]

The Internet has made it easier to perpetrate crimes by providing criminals an avenue for launching attacks with relative anonymity. The increased complexity of the communication and networking infrastructure is making investigation of the cybercrimes difficult. Clues of illegal activities are often buried in large volumes of data that needs to be sifted through in order to detect crimes and collect evidence.

The field of digital forensics and cybercrime investigation has become very important for law enforcement, national security, and information assurance. This is a multidisciplinary area that encompasses law, computer science, finance, telecommunications, data analytics, and policing. This conference brings together practitioners and researchers from diverse fields providing opportunities for business and intellectual engagement among attendees.

The following topics highlight the conference's theme:

*        Business Applications of Digital Forensics

·         e-Discovery,

·         Civil Litigation Support,

·         Incident Response

*        Cyber Crime Investigations

·         Online Fraud,

·         Money Laundering,

·         Hacking,

·         Malware & Botnets,

·         Sexual Abuse of Children on Internet

·         Software & Media Piracy

*        Digital Forensics Techniques and Tools

*        Digital Forensics Process & Procedures

*        Theoretical Foundations of Digital Forensics

*        Digital Forensics & Law
