Body fluid identification in forensics

Body fluid identification in forensics.

Determination of the type and origin of the body fluids found at a crime scene can give important insights into crime scene reconstruction by supporting a link between sample donors and actual criminal acts. For more than a century, numerous types of body fluid identification methods have been developed, such as chemical tests, immunological tests, protein catalytic activity tests, spectroscopi...

Practical Issues of Inhibition in Forensic Body Fluid Identification

Factors that inhibit the analysis of bodily fluids can result in inaccurate determinations by forensics experts. This paper points out the issues with the current practical tests focused on contamination of forensic samples and inhibition of testing. Several previous studies have shown that there are inhibitory substances that prevent the accurate identification of blood, saliva, and semen. Alt...

Sensor noise camera identification: countering counter-forensics

In camera identification using sensor noise, the camera that took a given image can be determined with high certainty by establishing the presence of the camera's sensor fingerprint in the image. In this paper, we develop methods to reveal counter-forensic activities in which an attacker estimates the camera fingerprint from a set of images and pastes it onto an image from a different camera wi...

Authorship Identification in Digital Forensics using Machine Learning Approach

Digital Forensics research field has gained the supreme importance recently due to increase in digital crimes. Many researchers are working on the various issues of digital forensics and they have developed many tools and techniques to deal with digital crimes. Digital forensics is the process of uncovering and interpreting electronic data for use in a court of law. The aim of the process is to...
