Electronic Forms-Based Computing for Evidentiary Analysis

The paperwork associated with evidentiary collection and analysis is a highly repetitive and time-consuming process which often involves duplication of work and can frequently result in documentary errors. Electronic entry of evidencerelated information can facilitate greater accuracy and less time spent on data entry. This manuscript describes a general framework for the implementation of an e...

Breaking Forensics Software: Weaknesses in Critical Evidence Collection

This article presents specific vulnerabilities in common forensics tools that were not previously known to the public. It discusses security analysis techniques for finding vulnerabilities in forensic software, and suggests additional security-specific acceptance criteria for consumers of these products and their forensic output. Traditional testing of forensics software has focused on robustne...
