Research Area:  Digital Forensics

Abstract:

Digital forensics is a relatively new and fast growing field of research that is focused on the development of forensically sound methods for the collection, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence. However, the fast pace of development in IT and digital technologies has made it difficult for the forensic research community to react in a timely manner and develop tools, techniques, and procedures for handling digital evidence. The wide adoption of cloud platforms and mobile devices has made them an important resource for digital forensics. The identification, collection, preservation, and analysis of evidence from mobile and cloud platforms has proven to be a challenge. This chapter provides an overview of the existing research gaps in the cloud and mobile forensic fields.
