01 Nov 2017TL;DR: The future of digital forensics is explored, with an emphasis on these challenges and the advancements needed to effectively protect modern societies and pursue cybercriminals.
Abstract: Today’s huge volumes of data, heterogeneous information and communication technologies, and borderless cyberinfrastructures create new challenges for security experts and law enforcement agencies investigating cybercrimes. The future of digital forensics is explored, with an emphasis on these challenges and the advancements needed to effectively protect modern societies and pursue cybercriminals.

17 Dec 2008TL;DR: This work describes how such composites can be detected by estimating a camera's intrinsic parameters from the image of a person's eyes, using differences in these parameters across the image as evidence of tampering.
Abstract: The compositing of two or more people into a single image is a common form of manipulation. We describe how such composites can be detected by estimating a camera's intrinsic parameters from the image of a person's eyes. Differences in these parameters across the image are used as evidence of tampering.

25 May 2011TL;DR: Significant challenges with cloud forensics, including forensic acquisition, evidence preservation and chain of custody, are described, and open problems for continued research.
Abstract: The inevitable vulnerabilities and criminal targeting of cloud environments demand an understanding of how digital forensic investigations of the cloud can be accomplished. We present two hypothetical case studies of cloud crimes; child pornography being hosted in the cloud, and a compromised cloudbased website. Our cases highlight shortcomings of current forensic practices and laws. We describe significant challenges with cloud forensics, including forensic acquisition, evidence preservation and chain of custody, and open problems for continued research.

03 Jan 2007TL;DR: The end results indicate that open source tools are a very good verification of evidence found using other products and should be included in the academic environment.
Abstract: The subject of digital forensics can be quite challenging. Digital forensics is in its infancy and teaching digital forensics includes the techniques as well as the tools that assist in the process. This article discusses the tools used in computer forensics, compares an open source tool to two commercial tools, and the advantages and disadvantages of all three tools in an academic environment. A team of four senior students sponsored by two faculty members established the project scope and requirements, presented three prototypes, and detailed the considerations of using open source tools. The same image was used to measure the performance of each software tool. The team found that the three tools provided the same results with different degrees of difficulty. The end results indicate that open source tools are a very good verification of evidence found using other products and should be included in the academic environment
