The 2010 ADFSL Conference on
Digital Forensics,
Security and Law
May 19-21, 2010
St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
Digital forensics is playing a more prominent role in law
enforcement, network security, and information assurance. The
field of study encompasses not just digital evidence, but also
the areas of cyber law, sociology, and security to name a few.
Its increasing importance is reflected in its growing role
within crime investigations, civil cases and homeland security.
An in-depth understanding of digital forensics is needed by
college students who will be entering the various fields within
technology, business, criminal justice, law, and homeland
security. Currently, many professionals in those fields are
still not well-prepared to understand the use and management of
digital evidence – or the use of digital forensics in
determining the causes of security breaches, or the avoidance of
security breaches altogether.
Today, many professionals are working with others from different
fields - lawyers are working with IT managers, law enforcement
are working with forensics engineers. Well, at least they are
trying. Unless properly prepared, many of these professionals
will not be able to communicate and work effectively with each
other. Those communications will continue in their frequency and
importance. The demand for forensics and investigative work by
knowledgeable professionals will continue to call upon our
academic institutions to provide that education for the
foreseeable future.
While some topics or courses will be needed in a variety of
majors such as criminal justice and computer science, an
enhanced level of study should be provided for those wishing to
have a more solid foundation in digital forensics, security and
law. By providing a conference addressing research and
curriculum in the related disciplines of digital forensics,
information assurance and law, we hope to provide an avenue
which will provide for a more comprehensive and richer learning
environment.
