st The world of the 21 century is, more than ever, global and impersonal. Criminal and terrorist threats, both physical and on the Internet, increase by the day. The demand for better methods of identification and access control is growing, not only in companies and organisations but also in the world at large. At the same time, such security measures have to be balanced with means for protecting the privacy of users. Identity management is put under pressure, due to the growing number of frauds who want to hide their true identity. This challenges the information security research community...

In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) processed more than two petabytes of digital evidence; in 2007, the volume of digital evidence processed will exceed four petabytes. Electronic devices are becoming smaller and more diverse; memory capacities are increasing according to Moore's Law; distributed networks are growing massively in size and scale. As society embraces new technologies and applications with gusto, digital information will become even more pervasive. Digital investigations already involve searching for the proverbial nee- dle in the haystack. In five years, possibly...

Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence. Networked computing, wireless communications and portable electronic devices have expanded the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations. Practically every crime now involves some aspect of digital evidence; digital forensics provides the techniques and tools to articulate this evidence. Digital forensics also has myriad intelligence applications. Furthermore, it has a vital role in information assurance - investigations of security...
