Criminal investigations are inherently complex as they typically involve interactions among various actors like investigators, prosecutors, and defendants. The pervasive integration of technology in daily life adds an extra layer of…
Digital forensics in smart environments is an emerging field that deals with the investigation and analysis of digital evidence in smart devices and environments. As smart environments continue to evolve, digital forensic investigators face…
The number of cyber attacks has increased tremendously in the last few years. This resulted into both human and financial losses at the individual and organization levels. Recently, cyber-criminals are leveraging new skills and capabilities…
The use of automation in digital forensic investigations is not only a technological issue, but also has political and social implications. This work discusses some challenges with the implementation and acceptance of automation in digital…
The collection and handling of court admissible evidence is a fundamental component of any digital forensic investigation. While the procedures for handling digital evidence take much of their influence from the established policies for the…
The growth of digital storage capacities and diversity devices has had a significant time impact on digital forensic laboratories in law enforcement. Backlogs have become commonplace and increasingly more time is spent in the acquisition…
Today a lot of digital evidences for crime investigation includes a geospatial component. This data comes from various sources such as smartphones, tablets, navigation systems, digital camera with global positioning system (GPS), etc. The…
Due to its critical role in cybersecurity, digital forensics has received significant attention from researchers and practitioners alike. The ever increasing sophistication of modern cyberattacks is directly related to the complexity of…
Fundamental processes in digital forensic investigation, such as disk imaging, were developed when digital investigation was relatively young. As digital forensic processes and procedures matured, these fundamental tools, that are the…
Forensic examination of evidence like firearms and toolmarks, traditionally involves a visual and therefore subjective assessment of similarity of two questioned items. Statistical models are used to overcome this subjectivity and allow…
Advanced internet technologies providing services like e-mail, social networking, online banking, online shopping etc., have made day-to-day activities simple and convenient. Increasing dependency on the internet, convenience, and…
The reliability of cyber forensic evidence acquisition is strongly influenced by the underlying operating systems, Windows, macOS, and Linux - due to inherent variations in file system structures, encryption protocols, and forensic tool…
Having a clear view of events that occurred over time is a difficult objective to achieve in digital investigations (DI). Event reconstruction, which allows investigators to understand the timeline of a crime, is one of the most important…
Following a series of high profile miscarriages of justice in the UK linked to questionable expert evidence, the post of the Forensic Science Regulator was created in 2008. The main objective of this role is to improve the standard of…
