Network forensics and challenges for cyber-security
SI in: Journal Annals of Telecommunications, Springer (JCR journal)

Societies in todays world are becoming more and more dependent on open
networks such as the Internet where commercial activities, business
transactions and government services are realized. This has led to the
fast development of new cyber threats and information security issues
which are utilized by cyber criminals. Mistrust for telecommunications
and computer network technologies have tremendous socio-economic impacts
on global enterprises as well as individuals.

Moreover, the occurrence of international frauds often requires the
investigation of facts that cross international borders. They are also
often subject to different jurisdictions and legal systems. The
increased complexity of the communication and networking infrastructure
is making investigation of the crimes difficult. Clues of illegal
digital activities are often buried in large volumes of data that are
hard to inspect in order to detect crimes and collect evidence.
This poses new challenges for law enforcement and forces computer
societies to utilize digital forensics to combat the growing number of
cybercrimes. Forensic professionals need to be fully prepared in order
to be able to provide effective evidence. To achieve these goals
forensic techniques must keep pace with new technologies. That is why
the field of digital forensics is becoming more and more important for
law enforcement, information and network security. Network forensics is
a newly emerged research area, and its importance has attracted a great
attention among computer professionals, law enforcement, and
practitioners. It is a multidisciplinary area that includes multiple
fields i.e.: law, computer science, finance, networking, data mining,
and criminal justice. However, network forensics still faces diverse
challenges and issues in terms of the efficiency of digital evidence
processing and the related forensic procedures.

This special issue presents some of the most relevant ongoing research
in network forensics and cyber-security fields. Topics include, but are
not limited to the following:
- Network forensics tools, applications, case studies and best practices;
- Formal standards, procedures or methods in network forensics;
- Networking incidents response, investigation and evidence handling;
- Integrity of digital evidence and live investigations;
- Identification, authentication and collection of digital evidence;
- Cyber crimes design, detection & investigation;
- Anti-forensics techniques and methods;
- Social networking forensics;
- Watermarking and intellectual property theft;
- Steganography/steganalysis and covert/subliminal channels in network
forensics.
