The role of triage in digital forensics is disputed, with some practitioners questioning its reliability for identifying evidential data. Although successfully implemented in the field of medicine, triage has not established itself to the same degree in digital forensics. This article presents a novel approach to triage for digital forensics. Case-Based Reasoning Forensic Triager (CBR-FT) is a ...

The main purpose of this study is to discuss the different comparative studies on digital forensics process models specially in the field of mobile devices. In order to legally pursue digital criminals, investigation should be conducted in a forensically sound manner so that the acquired evidence would be accepted in the court of law. Digital forensic process models define the important steps t...

The science of digital forensics is continually changing as technological advances are made and new digital devices are developed. This environment forces analysts to regularly extend their skills with training and frequent research to develop new and admissible techniques. Unfortunately, the same and similar methods are re-discovered by other analysts who are unaware of earlier peer efforts. T...

In the last decades digital forensics has become a prominent activity in modern investigations. Seized digital devices can provide precious information and evidences about facts and/or individuals on which the investigational activity is performed. Due to the complexity of this inquiring activity and to the large amount of the data to be analyzed, the choice of appropriate digital tools to supp...

A digital image is a numeric representation of a two-dimensional image. Depending on whether the image resolution is fixed, it may be of vector or raster type. Without qualifications, the term "digital image" usually refers to raster images also called bitmap images. When we see a picture on our monitor or use our digital camera (or scanner), the image we are viewing or dealing with is not cont...
