چکیده
Today’s Golden Age of computer forensics is quickly coming to an end. Without a clear strategy for enabling research efforts that build upon one another, forensic research will fall behind the market, tools will become increasingly obsolete, and law enforcement, military and other users of computer forensics products will be unable to rely on the results of forensic analysis. This article summarizes current forensic research directions and argues that to move forward the community needs to adopt standardized, modular approaches for data representation and forensic processing. a 2010 Digital Forensic Research Workshop.

More recently, security auditing has evolved to intrusion detection systems that are concerned with recognizing attacks and taking action to curb further damage at the time of the attack. Comparatively little research has focused on after the fact investigation, partly becau...
متن کاملTaxonomy of Challenges for Digital Forensics.
Since its inception, over a decade ago, the field of digital forensics has faced numerous challenges. Despite different researchers and digital forensic practitioners having studied and analysed various known digital forensic challenges, as of 2013, there still exists a need for a formal classification of these challenges. This article therefore reviews existing research literature and highligh...
متن کاملJudges Awareness, Understanding, and Application of Digital Evidence
As digital evidence grows in both volume and importance in criminal and civil courts, judges need to fairly and justly evaluate the merits of the offered evidence. To do so, judges need a general understanding of the underlying technologies and applications from which digital evidence is derived. Due to the relative newness of the computer forensics field, there have been few studies on the use...
