A Cost-Effective Model for Digital Forensic Investigations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Because of the way computers operate, every discrete event potentially leaves a digital trace. These digital traces must be retrieved during a digital forensic investigation to prove or refute an alleged crime. Given resource constraints, it is not always feasible (or necessary) for law enforcement to retrieve all the related digital traces and to conduct comprehensive investigations. This paper attempts to address the issue by proposing a model for conducting swift, practical and cost-effective digital forensic investigations.

Digital Forensonomics – the Economics of Digital Forensics
This paper introduces the economics of digital forensics (EDF) and describes the use of template patterns based on Bayesian network architectures for producing cost effective digital forensic investigations, making use of econometric quantities such as return on investment or cost benefit ratio to prioritise the recovery of digital evidential traces. A case study involving an actual distributed...
متن کاملChallenges with Automation in Digital Forensic Investigations
The use of automation in digital forensic investigations is not only a technological issue, but also has political and social implications. This work discusses some challenges with the implementation and acceptance of automation in digital forensic investigation, and possible implications for current digital forensic investigators. Current attitudes towards the use of automation in digital fore...
متن کاملChapter 1 A COST - EFFECTIVE DIGITAL FORENSICS INVESTIGATION MODEL
Computers operate at discrete points in time and hence digital traces are discrete events in temporal logic that reflect the occurrence of computer processes. From the perspective of a digital investigation, it is the duty of digital investigators or forensic examiners to retrieve digital traces so as to prove or to refute the alleged computer acts. Given the resource constraints of most organi...
متن کاملThe Modelling of a Digital Forensic Readiness Approach for Wireless Local Area Networks
Over the past decade, wireless mobile communication technology based on the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) has been adopted worldwide on a massive scale. However, as the number of wireless users has soared, so has the possibility of cybercrime. WLAN digital forensics is seen as not only a response to cybercrime in wireless networks, but also a means to stem the increase of cyb...
متن کاملTesting and Evaluating the Harmonized Digital Forensic Investigation Process in Post Mortem Digital Investigations
Existing digital forensic investigation process models have provided guidelines for identifying and preserving potential digital evidence captured from a crime scene. However, for any of the digital forensic investigation process models developed across the world to be adopted and fully applied by the scientific community, it has to be tested. For this reason, the Harmonized Digital Forensic In...
