As digital evidence becomes increasingly important in criminal and civil litigation, and as concerns about personal privacy and the sharing of digital information by both public and private sector entities increase, a clear need is emerging to create a code of professional ethics that would govern the activities of digital forensics practitioners. To this end, the PI will organize a conference that will provide an opportunity for attendees to familiarize themselves with ethical issues relating to the practice of digital forensics and to begin the process of developing an overarching, consensus-based, code of professional ethics for digital forensics practitioners similar to what the legal, research and medical organizations have created. Subjects to be addressed include Digital Forensic Investigations, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Jurisprudence, and Education and Awareness. In addition to resulting in a plan for designing, implementing, and enforcing a code of ethics, the proceedings of the conference would be published and thus made available to scholars and practitioners in the field, while media coverage of the event will provide information to informed citizens concerned about ethical issues in digital forensics and its practice.

随着数字证据在刑事和民事诉讼中变得越来越重要，以及对个人隐私和公共和私营部门实体共享数字信息的关注增加，显然需要制定一项职业道德守则，以管理数字取证从业人员的活动。 为此，PI将组织一次会议，为与会者提供一个机会，让他们熟悉与数字取证实践有关的伦理问题，并开始为数字取证从业者制定一个总体的、基于共识的职业道德准则，类似于法律的、研究和医疗组织创建的职业道德准则。要解决的问题包括数字法医调查，社会和行为科学，法理学，教育和认识。除了制定一项设计、实施和执行道德守则的计划外，会议记录还将出版，从而提供给该领域的学者和从业人员，而媒体对会议的报道将向关注数字取证及其实践中的道德问题的知情公民提供信息。
