IFIP WG 11.9 2026 (IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics) is a CCF C conference held in New Delhi, India on 2026-01-05. The paper submission deadline is 2025-09-30. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2025-10-30.
The IFIP Working Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics (www.ifip119.org) is an active international community of scientists,
engineers and practitioners dedicated to advancing the state of the art of research and practice in digital forensics. The Twenty-
Second Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics will provide a forum for presenting original,
unpublished research results and innovative ideas related to the extraction, analysis and preservation of all forms of electronic
evidence. Papers and panel proposals are solicited. All submissions will be refereed by a program committee comprising
members of the Working Group. Papers and panel submissions will be selected based on their technical merit and relevance to
IFIP WG 11.9. The conference will be limited to approximately 60 participants to facilitate interactions between researchers
and intense discussions of critical research issues. Keynote presentations, revised papers and details of panel discussions will
be published as an edited volume – the twenty-second volume in the well-known Research Advances in Digital Forensics book
series (Springer, Cham, Switzerland) during the summer of 2026.
Technical papers are solicited in all areas related to the theory and practice of digital forensics. Areas of special interest
include, but are not limited to:
Theories, techniques and tools for extracting, analyzing and preserving digital evidence
Enterprise and cloud forensics
Mobile and embedded device forensics
