ISDF 2009, the First International Conference on Information Security
and Digital Forensics, was held at City University London during
September 7-8, 2009. The c- ference was organized as a meeting point for
leading national and international - perts of information security and
digital forensics. The conference was rewarding in many ways; ISDF 2009
was an exciting and vibrant event, with 4 keynote talks, 25 invited
talks and 18 full-paper presentations and those attending had the
opportunity to meet and talk with many distinguished people who are
responsible for shaping the area of information security. This
conference was organized as part of two major research projects funded
by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council in the
areas of Security and Digital Forensics. I would like to thank all the
people who contributed to the technical program. The most apparent of
these are the Indian delegates who all accepted our invite to give
presentations at this conference. Less apparent perhaps is the terrific
work of the members of the Technical Program Committee, especially in
reviewing the papers, which is a critical and time-consuming task. I
would like to thank Raj Rajarajan (City University London) for making
the idea of the ISDF 2009 conference a reality with his hard work. Last
but not least, I would like to thank all the authors who submitted
papers, making the conference possible, and the authors of accepted
papers for their cooperation. Dasun Weerasinghe
