Welcome Message from the General Chairs
Join us at the 17th EAI International Conference on Digital Forensics &
Cyber Crime (ICDF2C) between 8 and 10 September 2026 in Reykjavik, the
capital of Iceland.
This year’s theme is: cyber analytics and forensics in the era of
emerging threats. Novel cyber threats are continuously emerging,
catalyzed by the rapid deployment of Large Language Models and other AI
across many domains, which increases the threat surface in many sectors
such as Smart Industry, Fintech, and digital government.
The focus of this conference is to provide a platform for discussing
these emerging threats and to identify priorities for the community to
target with the next generation of cyber analytics needed for digital
forensics and for tackling cyber crime.
The conference will feature technical and research paper presentations
and keynote speakers, as well as a tutorial exploring critical
intersections of autonomous drone technologies, cybersecurity, and
strategic threat intelligence and a workshop offering a structured
discussion to examine the gaps of law enforcement, civil recovery, and
the limits of crypto asset retrieval.
The conference is hosted by the University of Iceland. Iceland offers
breathtaking nature: geysers, waterfalls, glaciers, hot springs, and
volcanoes. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Northern
Lights. We are looking forward to seeing you in Reykjavik.
