14 Aug 2009TL;DR: This paper devises an ontology that structures forensic disciplines by their primary domain of evidence, and concludes that while perfect concealment of traces is possible for computer forensics, this level of certainty cannot be expected for manipulations of sensor data.
Abstract: The recent popularity of research on topics of multimedia forensics justifies reflections on the definition of the field. This paper devises an ontology that structures forensic disciplines by their primary domain of evidence. In this sense, both multimedia forensics and computer forensics belong to the class of digital forensics, but they differ notably in the underlying observer model that defines the forensic investigator's view on (parts of) reality, which itself is not fully cognizable. Important consequences on the reliability of probative facts emerge with regard to available counter-forensic techniques: while perfect concealment of traces is possible for computer forensics, this level of certainty cannot be expected for manipulations of sensor data. We cite concrete examples and refer to established techniques to support our arguments.

TL;DR: An informal introduction into the finite state machine approach to analysis of digital evidence and its use as a defence tool – for finding weaknesses in the forensic analysis performed by the opposing party is explored.
Abstract: This paper gives informal introduction into the finite state machine approach to analysis of digital evidence and explores its use as a defence tool – for finding weaknesses in the forensic analysis performed by the opposing party. The key concepts of the finite state machine approach are reviewed, and an example analysis of a published case study is performed. It is shown how the described approach can be used to generate alternative scenarios of the incident.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe results of a research effort to identify and prioritize criminal justice needs related to digital evidence collection, management, analysis, and use, and present the results of such an effort.
Abstract: With digital devices becoming ubiquitous, digital evidence is increasingly important to the investigation and prosecution of many types of crimes. This report describes results of a research effort to identify and prioritize criminal justice needs related to digital evidence collection, management, analysis, and use.

TL;DR: The suggested model is supposed to provide guidance for thorough and secure implementation of digital forensic procedures at a crime scene, which is not possible to cover every aspect of crime scene digital forensics, but the proposed procedure model was supposed to be a general guideline for practitioners.
