The products of graphic design applications leave behind traces of digital information which can be used during a digital forensic investigation in cases where counterfeit documents have been created. This paper analyzes the digital forensics involved in the creation of counterfeit documents. This is achieved by first recognizing the digital forensic artifacts left behind from the use of graphi...

Using machine-interpretable clinical guidelines to support evidence-based medicine promotes the quality of medical care. In this chapter, we present the Digital Electronic Guidelines Library (DeGeL), a comprehensive framework, including a Web-based guideline repository and a suite of tools, to support the use of automated guidelines for medical care, research, and quality assessment. Recently, ...

This paper outlines a new approach to the acquisition and processing of digital evidence obtained from disparate digital devices and sources. To date the capture of digital based evidence has always been in its entirety from the source device and different methods and containers (file types) are used for different types of digital device (e.g. computer, PDA, mobile phone). This paper defines a ...

Non-repudiation of digital evidence is required by various use cases in today’s business cases for example in the area of medical products but also in public use cases like congestion charges. These use cases have in common that at a certain time an evidence record is generated to attest for the occurrence of a certain event. To allow for non-repudiation of such an evidence record it is require...
