In the field of cancellable (revocable) biometrics much attention has been paid to physiological biometrics(e.g. fingerprint, iris) when compromised. However, the potential for natural revocability in behavioural biometrics(e.g. handwritten signature) is often overlooked, and the lack of databases to support this type of investigation imposes limitations. This paper presents a preliminary study of natural revocability, revealing relationships among established and new signature forms in relation to achievable stability. We study also the implications at the classification level.

Carrying capabilities of drones and their easy accessibility to public have led to an increase in crimes committed using drones in recent years. For this reason, the need for forensic analysis of drones captured from the crime scenes and the devices used for these drones is also paramount. This paper presents the extraction and identification of important artefacts from the recorded flight data as well as the associated mobile devices using open source tools and some basic scripts developed to aid the analysis of two popular drone systems- the DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Parrot AR. Drone 2.0. Although different drones vary in their operations, this paper extends the extraction and analysis of the data from the drones and associated devices using some generic methods which are forensically sound adhering to the guidelines of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).
The cybersecurity domain faces a critical disparity between the escalating demand for skilled professionals and the limited talent pool. This gap is primarily driven by the surge in cyberattacks perpetrated by malicious actors seeking financial gain or disruption. These attacks, encompassing tactics like Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) and ransomware, pose significant threats to data security and public safety. To bridge this gap, several challenges must be addressed. We need to prioritize initiatives that enhance people’s awareness and education in cybersecurity. Additionally, exploring innovative training methods and leveraging technology to equip cybersecurity professionals with the necessary skillsets is crucial. Like the last edition, the goal of this workshop remains to empower individuals to make informed decisions regarding cybersecurity education, navigate diverse career paths, and recognize the alignment between their acquired skills and industry demands. These novel educational methodologies will also equip professionals with a deeper understanding of cybersecurity risks and the expertise required to develop robust and secure technological solutions. Thinking about students, teachers, and professionals as the people who need to learn about cybersecurity, the aim of this workshop is to talk about how we can better match the companies’ demand (workplace, recruitment) and supply (qualification, training). We aim to raise awareness among these learners, help identify the crucial skills that are required for their work and encourage a more unified approach to teaching and training in cybersecurity.
