Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation,
examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence.
Networked computing, wireless communications and portable
electronic devices have expanded the role of digital forensics
beyond traditional computer crime investigations. Practically every
crime now involves some aspect of digital evidence; digital
forensics provides the techniques and tools to articulate this
evidence. Digital forensics also has myriad intelligence
applications. Furthermore, it has a vital role in information
assurance a" investigations of security breaches yield valuable
information that can be used to design more secure systems.
Advances in Digital Forensics describes original research
results and innovative applications in the emerging discipline of
digital forensics. In addition, it highlights some of the major
technical and legal issues related to digital evidence and
electronic crime investigations. The areas of coverage include:
- Themes and Issues in Digital Forensics
- Investigative Techniques
- Network Forensics
- Portable Electronic Device Forensics
- Linux and File System Forensics
- Applications and Techniques
This book is the first volume of a new series produced by the
International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working
Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics, an international community of
scientists, engineers and practitioners dedicated to advancing the
state of the art of research and practice in digital forensics. The
book contains a selection of twenty-five edited papers from the
First Annual IFIP WG11.9 Conference on Digital Forensics, held at
the National Center for Forensic Science, Orlando, Florida, USA in
February 2005.
Advances in Digital Forensics is an important resource for
researchers, faculty members and graduate students, as well as for
practitioners and individuals engaged in research and development
efforts for the law enforcement and intelligence communities.
