Research in virtualization technology has gained significant momentum in recent years, which brings not only opportunities to the forensic community, but challenges as well. In this paper, we discuss the potential roles of virtualization in the area of digital forensics and conduct an investigation on the recent progresses which utilize the virtualization techniques to support modern computer f...

The two most common computer forensics applications perform exclusively on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, yet contemporary computer forensics examinations frequently encounter one or more of the three most common operating system environments, namely Windows, OS-X, or some form of UNIX or Linux. Additionally, government and private computer forensics laboratories frequently encounter budg...

In this chapter, we will review the research area of passive-blind image forensics, i.e., an form of image analysis for finding out the condition of an image without relying on pre-registration or pre-embedded information. We consider the two main functions of passive-blind image forensics as being image forgery detection and image source identification. In this vein, we provide a detailed revi...

In this paper we present an approach to digital forensics specification based on forensic policy definition. Our methodology borrows from computer security policy specification, which has accumulated a significant body of research over the past 30 years. We first define the process of specifying forensics properties through a forensics policy and then present an example application of the proce...

Digital Forensics is a fairly new discipline, which due to the heavy overlap with the computer science and information technology is now categorized within the computer science field. On the other hand, the legal side of digital forensics is mainly coming from the traditional forensics procedures and the law. Therefore, the current models are modeling the process of digital investigation to be ...

Environment recognition from digital audio for forensics application is a growing area of interest. However, compared to other branches of audio forensics, it is a less researched one. Especially less attention has been given to detect environment from files where foreground speech is present, which is a forensics scenario. In this paper, we perform several experiments focusing on the problems ...

Digital forensics is a part of forensic science that covers the discovery and investigation matter (data) found on digital devices. At present use computer technology so rapid it helps human activities with sophistication network technology, behind all problems arise regarding forensics. The main cause act misuse by irresponsible people aim utilizing other parties' facilities for personal or gr...

Vehicles nowadays are equipped with a vast amount of sensors that collect data for the vehicle and its environment. This, combined acceleration automotive industry towards interconnected autonomous cars, suggests security specifically ability to detect compromised nodes, preserve evidence an attack or malicious activities emerge as priority in successfully deploying Internet Vehicle ecosystem. ...

The field of image composition is constantly trying to improve the ways in which an image can be altered and enhanced. While this is usually done in the name of aesthetics and practicality, it also provides tools that can be used to maliciously alter images. In this sense, the field of digital image forensics has to be prepared to deal with the influx of new technology, in a constant arms-race....
