Counter-Forensics: Attacking Image Forensics

This chapter discusses counter-forensics, the art and science of impeding or misleading forensic analyses of digital images. Research on counter-forensics is motivated by the need to assess and improve the reliability of forensic methods in situations where intelligent adversaries make efforts to induce a certain outcome of forensic analyses. Counter-forensics is first defined in a formal decis...

Firm Founding and Systematic Search

This research uses a representative sample of U.S. nascent entrepreneurs to find that there is a positive relationship between their use of systematic search and their success in founding new firms. We control for mediating variables and find that searching systematically leverages firm founding by using an adaptive decision making style and social capital. Systematic search also appears to red...

Digital Forensics to Intelligent Forensics

In this paper we posit that current investigative techniques—particularly as deployed by law enforcement, are becoming unsuitable for most types of crime investigation. The growth in cybercrime and the complexities of the types of the cybercrime coupled with the limitations in time and resources, both computational and human, in addressing cybercrime put an increasing strain on the ability of d...

Founding and Former Series Editors:

It is well-known that there is an efficient method for decrypt-ing/signing with RSA when the secret exponent d is small modulo p− 1and q − 1. We call such an exponent d a small CRT-exponent. It is one of the major open problems in attacking RSA whether there exists a polynomial time attack for small CRT-exponents, i.e. a result that can be considered as an equivalent to the Wiener and B...
