Establishing facts on cyber crime is gradually gaining wider relevance in prosecuting cyber criminals. The branch of cyber policing saddled with this responsibility is the network forensic community (researchers, developer, and investigator). However, the recurring rate of advances in cybercrime poses greater challenge to the available improvements in network forensics analysis tools (NFAT) as ...

In this paper, we present a unified understanding on the formal performance evaluation for image manipulation forensics techniques. With hypothesis testing model, security is qualified as the difficulty for defeating an existing forensics system and making it generate two types of forensic errors, i.e., missing and false alarm detection. We point out that the security on false alarm risk, which...

This paper is a survey on biometrics and forensics, especially on the techniques and applications of face recognition in forensics. This paper describes the differences and connections between biometrics and forensics, and bridges each other by formulating the conditions when biometrics can be applied in forensics. Under these conditions, face recognition, as a non-intrusive and non-contact bio...

As colleges and universities consider instituting a bachelor’s degree in digital forensics or computer forensics, there are numerous questions to be addressed. While some of these normally occur in the development of any new major, there are aspects of digital forensics which do not often (if ever) occur in other majors. We discuss the issues that should be resolved in the development of a bacc...

With the development of Internet and information technology, the digital crimes are also on the rise. Computer forensics is an emerging research area that applies computer investigation and analysis techniques to help detection of these crimes and gathering of digital evidence suitable for presentation in courts. This paper provides foundational concept of computer forensics, outlines various p...

Network forensics is the science that deals with capture, recording, and analysis of network traffic for detecting intrusions and investigating them. This paper makes an exhaustive survey of various network forensic frameworks proposed till date. A generic process model for network forensics is proposed which is built on various existing models of digital forensics. Definition, categorization a...

Currently there appears to be a lack of research in the area of developing tools, testing methodologies, and creating standards for ADSL router forensics. The paper examines a wide range of literature and introduces the concept of ADSL router forensics as a new and potential field of research for digital forensics investigators. It begins by examining why there is a need for router forensics by...

E-business security is crucial to the development of e-business. Due to the complexity and characteristics of e-business security, the current approaches for security focus on preventing the network intrusion or misusing in advanced and seldom concern of the forensics data requiring for the investigation after the network attack or fraud. We discuss the method for resolving the problem of the e...
