Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cybercrime is a multidisciplinary area that encompasses law, computer science, psychology, psychophysiology, economics and finance, telecommunications, data analytics, and policing. Cybercrime is a timely issue, which presents numerous and constantly evolving challenges to academic, private sector, government, and law enforcement agencies. The decentralized nature of the Internet makes this a global issue that cannot be solved by a single company or country alone. This is especially the case given the high level of sophistication, commercialization, and organization of cybercrime attacks. Cybercrime has implications for national, supranational, and international legislation, cooperation between law enforcement organizations, cooperation between the public and private sectors, and for international coordination against transnational crime. This call for papers will produce a journal on cybercrime and cyber security. Researchers, academics, and practitioners are invited to submit original work, research papers, laboratory experiments, case studies, and experience reports.
This Special Issue aims to foster state-of-the-art research in the area of cybercrime and cyber security.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- the changing nature of cybercrime: threats and trends
- cybercrime regulation, policy recommendations, and responses
- technical measures to combat cybercrime: techniques, judicial processes, legal/ethical issues, and cybercrime legislations
- electronic evidence and criminal justice
- cybercrime detection and prevention
- malware analysis, attribution, forensics, and reverse-engineering
- spam emails, statistical analysis, and data mining
- cybercrime victims and offenders: psychology and profiling
- cybercrime investigations, concerning, e.g., computer and mobile forensics, online fraud, money laundering, hacking, malware, and botnets, sexual abuse of children on the Internet, software and media piracy, etc.
- cloud security, privacy, and compliance challenges
- misuse of personal data and the right to online privacy vs. anonymity
