Dear professionals,
This a new opportunity to share your
findings, ideas and research in information
security and computer forensic
topics. Please share with all your
colleagues.
-------------------------------------------------------
Call
for Chapters for the
Handbook of Research on Digital Anti-forensics and
In-security Governance
Editor: Jeimy J. Cano, Ph.D, CFE

Universidad de los Andes, COLOMBIA

Faculty
Introduction:
Security management and computer forensics
are topics based on vulnerabilities
and system failures. In this way we need
to study the duality of security:
insecurity, as a strategy to discover how
the system fails, what configurations
make it fail, and how to discover the
evidence of failures. If we could learn
from information insecurity and anti-
forensics strategies, we could better
understand new ways to compromise the
systems and rethink all security
considerations in place, as well as enhance
them and make them more resilient.
Insecurity management is an emergent
distinction to harden our IT
infrastructures, knowing the mind of
attacker.
This handbook will aim to promote new skills in understanding
insecurity
management as a way to enhance IT security areas and promote more
reliable
procedures in computer and digital forensics. In this sense, all
contributions
considered for this editorial project will be analysis of
current and new
strategies to evade computer forensic investigations and new
strategies to
validate computer investigations. This book will also aim to
discover critical
failures in computer forensics software, reliability of
security systems, and
discuss all issues that support and offer ideas to
security officers, security
managers, academics or practitioners in
maintaining vigilance in the event of
an attack on IT
infrastructure.
Coverage: The Handbook of Research on Digital
Anti-forensics and In-security
Governance will be comprised of chapters
(5,000-7,500 words) authored by
leading experts offering an in-depth
description of key terms and concepts
related to different areas, issues and
trends in anti-forensics and insecurity
governance in modern organizations
worldwide.

Invited Submissions:
Individuals interested in submitting chapters (5,000-7,500
words) on the
above-suggested topics or other related topics in their area of
interest
should submit via e-mail a 2-3 page manuscript proposal clearly
explaining
the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter by May 1, 2007. We
strongly
encourage other topics that have not been listed in the suggested
list,
particularly if the topic is related to the research area in which you
have
expertise. Upon acceptance of your proposal, you will have
until
September 15, 2007, to prepare your chapter of 5,000-7,500 words and
7-10
related terms and their appropriate definitions. Guidelines for
preparing your
paper and terms and definitions will be sent to you upon
acceptance of your
proposal.
Please forward your e-mail of interest
including your name, affiliation and a
list of topics (5-7) on which you are
interested in writing a chapter to Jeimy
J. Cano, editor, at [log in to unmask]
no later than May 1, 2007. You will be
notified about the status of
your proposed topics by June 1, 2007. This book
is tentatively
scheduled for publishing by Information Science Reference
(formerly Idea
Group Reference) (an imprint of IGI Global),
www.info-sci-ref.com, in
2008.
