Design and Implementation of KFMS for Digital Forensics

Abstract: As the digitization of information is advanced, the case which keeps inside the digital information machinery and tools where the important evidence or beginning are included is increasing in computer related crime and also general crime. The digital organization standardized the process of digital forensic in the investigation office and the cyber crime investigation which applies the various equipments(S/W, H/W) is being activated. But the specialist discernment is necessary for equipment (S/W and H/W) application and the actual condition is that the evidence management and joint ownership are restricted. As it is able to approach in the case of the non specialist easily and a corroborative fact data application degree is raised through the connection of the investigation office (prosecution, police) & the financial institution (the bank, insurance and the securities) and the necessity of the near search using a mining & the digital forensic evidence management system is proposed, we would like to propose the prototype of digital evidence management system for the efficient cyber crime investigation through this research.

Towards Fully Automated Digital Alibis with Social Interaction

Abstract: Digital traces found on local hard drives as a result of online activities have become very valuable in reconstructing events in digital forensic investigations. This paper demonstrates that forged alibis can be created for online activities and social interactions. In particular, a novel, automated framework is presented that uses social interactions to create false digital alibis. The framework simulates user activity and supports communications via email as well as instant messaging using a chatbot. The framework is evaluated by extracting forensic artifacts and comparing them with the results obtained from a human user study.

Digital Witness: Remote Method for Volunteering Digital Evidence on Mobile Devices

Abstract: Law enforcement requires methods of digital evidence collection from victim or witness devices in a minimally invasive manner. Victims and witnesses are often concerned with minimizing the exposure of data on their phone to authorities. In this paper we describe a system for the secure submission of digital evidence and a micro-service for creating and monitoring chain of custody. These tools minimize device data exposure, encourage cooperation from victims and witnesses, and enforce accountability with regards to handling digital evidence.

Borderless crimes and digital forensic: Nigerian perspectives

Abstract: This paper aims to determine the extent to which the myriad of cybercrimes is within the purview of extant Nigerian laws against the backdrop of the modicum of legal and institutional mechanisms available at international law for combating cybercrimes.,This study is library based. It relies on secondary data generated by the variegated multilateral agencies, law reports of international and municipal tribunals, relevant books, journals, monographs policy papers and so forth as the basis of analysis.,Findings suggest that cybercrimes are very difficult to unravel because their traces are imperceptible and require highly specialised skills and digital protocols to find, store and save them for evidential purposes. Such gathered evidence are in the form of digital data stored in variegated hardware and software media, such as storage peripherals, electronic components, working memory, hard discs and external discs. The difficulty is how to identify, weigh for evidential value and capture the multiplicity of evidence unearthed in a digital forensic investigation. The foregoing underscores the digital forensic problematic which is engendered by the difficulties of contriving a thoroughgoing concept of digital evidence given the malleable nature of the variegated storage media.,This paper engenders considerable acquaintance of the entire sphere of digital crimes and cyber threats, which is contended with in the information epoch, and recommends both legal and institutional mechanisms to counter the clear, real and present danger, which digital crimes represent for the survival of human civilisation, sustainable economic growth and development.,This paper dwells on the infinite potentiality of deploying the instrumentality of national and international law to deter, control and prosecute the myriad of cybercrimes.
