This article provides a primer on forensic voice comparison (aka forensic speaker recognition), a branch of forensic science in which the forensic practitioner analyzes a voice recording in order to provide an expert opinion that will help the trier-of-fact determine the identity of the speaker. The article begins with an explanation of ways in which human speech varies within and between speak...

Embedded systems are ubiquitous in society and can contain information that could be used in criminal cases for example in a serious road traffic accident where the car management systems could provide vital forensic information concerning the engine speed etc. A critical review of a number of methods and procedures for the analysis of embedded systems were compared against a ‘standard’ methodo...

The task of analysis within the digital forensic investigation lifecycle is examined and the support provided for its constituent activities by a representative sample of forensic tools evaluated. It is suggested that the core activity of analysis (i.e. the derivation of a testable high-level hypothesis or narrative of user behaviour) is a creative activity which depends primarily on the experi...

Most secure database is the one you know the most. Tamper detection compares the past and present status of the system and produces digital evidence for forensic analysis. Our focus is on different methods or identification of different locations in an oracle database for collecting the digital evidence for database tamper detection. Starting with the basics of oracle architecture, continuing w...

Live digital forensics presents unique challenges with respect to maintaining forensic soundness, but also offers the ability to examine information that is unavailable to quiescent analysis. Any perturbation of a live operating system by a forensic examiner will have far-reaching effects on the state of the system being analysed. Numerous approaches to live digital forensic evidence acquisitio...

Within the context of medical examiner's offices, forensic anthropologists are increasingly being asked to assist with the interpretation of traumatic skeletal injury. This case study presents an example of trauma analysis performed by forensic anthropologists at the Maricopa County Forensic Science Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The primary goal of this study is to document an uncommon pattern of...

It is recommended to make speech tests after establishing occlusion for function and obtaining satisfactory esthetics in dentures [1]. A prosthetic solution should not be regarded as complete without optimal control of phonetic aspects. For this purpose, some special...

The increasing use of databases in the storage of critical and sensitive information in many organizations has lead to an increase in the rate at which databases are exploited in computer crimes. While there are several techniques and tools available for database forensics, they mostly assume apriori database preparation, such as relying on tamper-detection software to be in place or use of det...
