About the Journal
The Journal of Digital Security and Forensics (ISSN: 3048-894X) is an online, half-yearly, open-access, peer-reviewed journal which provides a forum to publish accessible articles describing original research in the inherently interdisciplinary domains of cyber security, information security, and digital forensics. This includes the security of information, computers and networks, cryptography, cyber-physical system security, digital forensics, and other related fields. This also includes digital forensic research, case studies, investigation models, investigation tools analysis, electronic evidence reporting, and the future of digital forensics. In addition, the journal publishes papers that take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cyber and information security, including topics such as international relations, data protection, privacy, ethics, legal issues, and economic implications.
The objective of the journal is to entice contributions from a diverse range of article formats in order to encourage cooperation across various industries that are attempting to counteract the proliferation of cyber and information security risks. Traditional research-oriented articles, educational surveys to instruct a wider technical community, informative articles that discuss practical policy, legal, and economic aspects of digital security and forensics, and editorial or position articles that pose new ideas and paradigm shifts for the field of security and forensics are all examples of the types of articles that could be included in the journal.
This publication platform is dedicated to publishing high-quality empirical research in addition to scholarly articles that are founded on implications and solutions applicable to the current world.
The journal encourages submissions that focus on substantive and challenging issues in the fields of cyber and information security and digital forensics. Mainly, the publication invites its authors to express their own thoughts on critical topics. The following are the most important aspects of the subject:
- Computer science and security.
- Security and crime science.
- Human factors and psychology; security economics.
- Legal aspects of information security; political and policy perspectives.
- Machine learning; AI security.
- Digital ledger technology.
- Anomaly and intrusion detection, and countermeasures to prevent detection.
- Applied cryptography and cryptographic protocols.
- Big data; cloud computing and security and privacy threats.
- Malware, malware reverse engineering, and malware defense and mitigation strategies.
- Network security and security in mobile platforms.
- Digital forensics tools/techniques/standardization, testing/approvals for forensic tools.
- Forensics, including computer and network forensics.
- Crime scene/search and seizure processes, criminal investigation of mobile devices.
- Investigative techniques, judicial processes, legal/ethical issues, cyber crime legislations.
- Digital and physical surveillance, digital image manipulation.
The journal presents an innovative platform for researchers, students, practitioners, and educators to both learn from and contribute to the field. All articles are subject to initial editor screening and then a rigorous double-blind peer-review process before publication.
Our Global Relevance
Each article published in the Journal of Digital Security and Forensics (DigiSecForensics) contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By focusing on cyber security, information security, cyber-physical system security, digital forensics, privacy, data protection, ethics, legal issues, and economic implications, the journal directly supports safer digital societies and resilient institutions.
DigiSecForensics particularly advances:
SDG 4: Quality Education- By publishing traditional research articles, educational surveys, and informative pieces that help train and upskill the wider technical and investigative community in cutting-edge security and forensics practices.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth- By examining cyber risks, incident management, DeFi smart contracts, digital ledger technology, and security economics—supporting safer digital business environments and more resilient digital economies.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure- Through research on network security, cloud security, big data, applied cryptography, AI security, anomaly and intrusion detection, and secure mobile platforms, strengthening innovation and the robustness of digital infrastructure.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities- By addressing cyber-physical system security, surveillance, digital image manipulation, and critical digital infrastructures that underpin modern smart cities and essential services, helping communities remain safe and resilient in an increasingly connected world.
SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions- By advancing digital forensics methods, investigative techniques, evidence handling, workplace harassment investigations, judicial processes, and cybercrime legislation, thereby supporting fair trials, accountable institutions, and effective rule of law in the digital age.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals- By explicitly encouraging cooperation across industries and sectors facing cyber and information security risks, and by providing a shared platform for researchers, students, practitioners, and educators worldwide.
We welcome submissions from cyber security professionals, digital forensics experts, law-enforcement and judiciary stakeholders, policymakers, security engineers, researchers, educators, and industry practitioners. By combining rigorous research with real-world case studies and policy insights, the Journal of Digital Security and Forensics helps build a more secure, just, and sustainable digital future aligned with the SDGs.
