Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Information security and cybersecurity have become a major priority for every organization, as they involve confidential data and private information, some of the most valuable resources. Playing a critical role in cybersecurity, digital forensics has received significant attention from researchers and practitioners. With the increasing sophistication of modern cyberattacks, the complexity of digital (forensic) investigations requires new technologies and solutions.
For this reason, there is a need to embrace the opportunities afforded by applying the principles and procedures of artificial intelligence to digital forensics intelligence and to intelligent forensics. Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning and deep learning, is bringing new developments in cybersecurity and moving beyond the capabilities of digital forensic tools that are in current use. By applying new techniques to digital investigations, there is currently a need to address the challenges of the larger and more complex domains in cybersecurity.
In this Special Issue, we are gathering diverse and complementary articles that demonstrate developments in digital forensics and tackle new challenges for cybersecurity. Some specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Digital forensics;
- Computer and network forensics;
- Artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, privacy, and forensics;
- Internet of Things security, privacy, and forensics;
- Distributed trust and security issues in pervasive computing;
- Machine learning methods for database security.
The above list of topics is not meant to be exhaustive; this Special Issue is interested in all aspects of digital forensics and new technologies or solutions for cybersecurity.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
