Building Trust, Resilience, and Intelligence in the Cyber-Forensic Era
The International Conference on Intelligent Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity (IDFC 2026) aims to bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share advances in forensic science, cybersecurity defense, and intelligence analytics. With the proliferation of AI, including the recent rise of generative AI, IoT, blockchain, and cloud technologies, the boundaries between cybersecurity and forensics are increasingly intertwined.
IDFC 2026 provides a platform to explore the convergence of these domains for effective cybercrime prevention, digital evidence handling, and trust preservation. The conference invites novel contributions that address emerging threats, privacy challenges, and innovative tools that strengthen cyber defense and forensic investigations across multiple disciplines.
In particular, IDFC 2026 seeks to highlight the transformative role of generative AI and other emerging technologies in shaping the future of digital forensics and cybersecurity. Contributions exploring the creation and detection of synthetic content, deepfake forensics, generative threat modeling, and AI-driven forensic intelligence are especially encouraged.
