An Approach for Digital Forensics Using Behavior Analysis

Computer forensics is the application of investigation and analysis techniques to gather and preserve evidence from a particular computing device in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law. Behavior analysis is rooted in the behaviorist tradition and utilizes learning principles to bring about behavior change. Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. Idiographic digital profiling (IDP) is the application of behavioral analysis to the field of digital forensics. In this paper it is been discussed about IDP which provides a framework for investigators to analyze digital behavioral evidence for the purposes of case planning, subject identification, lead generation, obtaining and executing warrants, and prosecuting offenders.
