SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION SECURITY PRIV...

Digital forensic science  or digital forensics  is the application of scientific tools and
methods to identify  collect  and analyze digital (data) artifacts in support of legal
proceedings. From a more technical perspective  it is the process of reconstructing the
relevant sequence of events that have led to the currently observable state of a target IT
system or (digital) artifacts. Over the last three decades  the importance of digital evidence
has grown in lockstep with the fast societal adoption of information technology  which has
resulted in the continuous accumulation of data at an exponential rate. Simultaneously  there
has been a rapid growth in network connectivity and the complexity of IT systems  leading to
more complex behavior that needs to be investigated. The goal of this book is to provide a
systematic technical overview of digital forensic techniques  primarily from the point of view
of computer science. This allows us to put the field in the broader perspective of a host of
related areas and gain better insight into the computational challenges facing forensics  as
well as draw inspiration for addressing them. This is needed as some of the challenges faced by
digital forensics  such as cloud computing  require qualitatively different approaches  the
sheer volume of data to be examined also requires new means of processing it.
