Digital Forensics research field has gained the supreme importance recently due to increase in digital crimes. Many researchers are working on the various issues of digital forensics and they have developed many tools and techniques to deal with digital crimes. Digital forensics is the process of uncovering and interpreting electronic data for use in a court of law. The aim of the process is to...

Integrated Digital Forensics Investigation Framework (IDFIF) is a method of investigation of a general nature. IDFIF evolved into IDFIF version 2 that is a method of treatment focuses on smartphones. IDFIF v2 can not be applied to network investigation it is necessary to develop a version 3 IDFIF focused on network forensics. This research is the development of network forensics framework using...

While some individuals have referred to digital forensics as an art, the literature of the discipline suggests a trend toward the formalization of digital forensics as a forensic science. Questions about the quality of digital evidence and forensic soundness continue to be raised by researchers and practitioners in order to ensure the trustworthiness of digital evidence and its value to the cou...

Existing digital forensics frameworks do not provide clear guidelines for conducting digital forensics investigation. However, had a framework existed, investigations based on known procedures and processes would follow strict prescribed standardisation. This should direct investigations following a set method for comparisons; ensuring future investigation is following one standard. Digital for...

The rapid adoption of cloud computing to meet storage and computation needs has changed the way computing services and resources are used. However, because of the black-box nature and multi-tenant usage models of clouds, existing digital forensics science cannot cope with current state-of-the-art cloud architectures. Because of the fundamental characteristics of such clouds, many assumptions of...

This chapter discusses counter-forensics, the art and science of impeding or misleading forensic analyses of digital images. Research on counter-forensics is motivated by the need to assess and improve the reliability of forensic methods in situations where intelligent adversaries make efforts to induce a certain outcome of forensic analyses. Counter-forensics is first defined in a formal decis...

I Passwords and Their Hashes . . . . . . . . 5 Abstract—Computer Forensics is a new field that uses traditional investigation processes and applies them to investigating a computer for digital evidence. In this paper, we will discuss the background of computer forensics and process of a digital investigation of a computer. Technical topics such cryptographic hashing and data hiding will be cove...

Importance of digital forensics is expected to increase in the future.Many of researches on digital forensics are targeted to persistent memory. These researches concerns about the extraction of evidence directly or via filesystem. On the other hand, there is a movement to employ the Web browser supports HTML5 as software platform. In this situation, it is considered that the forensics techniqu...

Cloud forensics refers to digital forensics investigations performed in cloud computing environments. Nowadays digital investigators face various technical, legal, and organizational challenges to keep up with current developments in the field of cloud computing. But, due to its dynamic nature, cloud computing also offers several opportunities to improve digital investigations in cloud environm...

This paper introduces the Digital Records Forensics project, a research endeavour located at the University of British Columbia in Canada and aimed at the development of a new science resulting from the integration of digital forensics with diplomatics, archival science, information science and the law of evidence, and of an interdisciplinary graduate degree program, called Digital Records Fore...
