ADVANCES IN DIGITAL FORENSICS IV Edited by: Indrajit Ray and Sujeet Shenoi Digital forensics
deals with the acquisition preservation examination analysis and presentation of electronic
evidence. Networked computing wireless communications and portable electronic devices have
expanded the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations.
Practically every crime now involves some aspect of digital evidence digital forensics
provides the techniques and tools to articulate this evidence. Digital forensics also has
myriad intelligence applications. Furthermore it has a vital role in information assurance --
investigations of security breaches yield valuable information that can be used to design more
secure systems. Advances in Digital Forensics IV describes original research results and
innovative applications in the emerging discipline of digital forensics. In addition it
highlights some of the major technical and legal issues related to digital evidence and
electronic crime investigations. The areas of coverage include: - Themes and Issues - Evidence
Recovery - Evidence Integrity - Evidence Management - Forensic Techniques - Network Forensics -
Portable Electronic Device Forensics - Event Data Recorder Forensics - Novel Investigation
Techniques - Forensic Tools This book is the fourth volume in the annual series produced by the
International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.9 on Digital
Forensics an international community of scientists engineers and practitioners dedicated to
advancing the state of the art of research and practice in digital forensics. The book contains
a selection of twenty-eight edited papers from the Fourth Annual IFIP WG 11.9 Conference on
Digital Forensics held at Kyoto University Kyoto Japan in the spring of 2008. Advances in
Digital Forensics IV is an important resource for researchers faculty members and graduate
students as well as for practitioners and individuals engaged in research and development
efforts for the law enforcement and intelligence communities. Indrajit Ray is an Associate
Professor of Computer Science at Colorado State University Fort Collins Colorado USA. Sujeet
Shenoi is the F.P. Walter Professor of Computer Science and a principal with the Center for
Information Security at the University of Tulsa Tulsa Oklahoma USA.
