Call for Paper

This conference delves into the transformative potential of blockchain technology in securing our digital future. We urge researchers, engineers, academics, and industry leaders from across the globe to converge and illuminate their breakthroughs and endeavours in various aspects of blockchain for digital forensics and cyber security. Through dedicated tracks focusing on specific areas like decentralized forensic platforms,blockchain-based intrusion detection, and Al-driven malware hunting, this conference fosters ground-breaking collaborations and sparks the next wave of innovation in securing our digital lives.

Any submission needs to be explicitly marked as “Full paper” (scientific research papers, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances) or “Short paper” (a work in paper that is no longer than 8 pages, including references). The unimplemented ideas can also be submitted in the form of posters. The author(s) may have to make a presentation on their posters at the venue specified during the conference. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. All paper submissions must contain a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. All submissions will be subjected to a thorough double‐blind review process. Submitted papers shall be anonymised and all author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references should be eliminated to be eligible for the review process. Authors are also encouraged to propose position papers on practical studies and experiments, critique of existing work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development. Enterprises and research centers developing, implementing, or using security tools and frameworks are encouraged to propose application / tool demos. Proposals for special sessions, tutorials, and workshops should provide sufficient detail to evaluate them.

Best papers are considered under each track based on the novelty of the topic, originality, innovativeness and presentation based on recommendation of the chair. 100% registration fee will be waived for the best paper awardees and a special certificate will also be offered.

The manuscript must be in MS Word (.docx) format. NFSU journal of Cyber Security and Digital Forensics follow the paper template of IEEE standards. NFSU_JCSDF_PAPER_FORMAT
