formalizing Computer Forensics process with uml
International United Information Systems Conference, 2009Co-Authors: Chun Ruan, Ewa HuebnerAbstract:This paper introduces modeling methodologies to Computer Forensics to provide formalism and structured approach to Computer Forensics activities. It studies how to use UML diagrams to model and visualize various aspects of a Computer Forensics system. It first applies UML to model the basic components of a Computer forensic process and their relationships. It then uses UML to further visualize the activities carried out for each component. The formal graphical model provides a well-defined and straightforward semantics to the Computer Forensics process making it easier to understand by various parties involved.

the role of operating systems in Computer Forensics
Operating Systems Review, 2008Co-Authors: Ewa Huebner, Frans HenskensAbstract:Computer Forensics is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the examination of Computer systems which have been involved in criminal activity, either as an object or a tool of a crime. The aim of the investigator is to find information relevant to the case in question, as well as the chain of events leading to the creation of this information. In other words the questions to be answered are "What incriminating information is present in the system?" and "How did the incriminating information get there?"

Computer Forensics past present and future
Journal of Information Science and Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Derek Bem, Ewa Huebner, Francine Feld, Oscar BemAbstract:In this paper we examine the emergence and evolution of Computer crime and Computer Forensics, as well as the crisis Computer Forensics is now facing. We propose new directions and approaches which better reflect the current objectives of this discipline. We further discuss important challenges that this discipline will be facing in the near future, and we propose an approach more suitable to prepare for these challenges. We focus on the technical aspects, while at the same time providing insights which would be helpful to better understand the unique issues related to Computer forensic evidence when presented in the court of law.

Computer forensic analysis in a virtual environment
International Journal of Digital Evidence, 2007Co-Authors: Derek Bem, Ewa HuebnerAbstract:In this paper we discuss the potential role of virtual environments in the analysis phase of Computer Forensics investigations. General concepts of virtual environments and software tools are presented and discussed. Further we identify the limitations of virtual environments leading to the conclusion that this method can not be considered to be a replacement for conventional techniques of Computer evidence collection and analysis. We propose a new approach where two environments, conventional and virtual, are used independently. Further we demonstrate that this approach can considerably shorten the time of the Computer Forensics investigation analysis phase and it also allows for better utilisation of less qualified personnel.

Computer Forensics the modern crime fighting tool
Journal of Computer Information Systems, 2016Co-Authors: Michael E Busing, Joshua D Null, Karen A ForchtAbstract:The study of Computer Forensics has quickly emerged and technology used in this type of Forensics is being developed quite rapidly. Many public and private companies are using Computer Forensics on a daily basis, thus creating another area of technological jobs. As swiftly as the field and its importance are growing, many practitioners still remain unaware of Computer Forensics and its role in the technological world. This paper provides an overview of the relatively new field of Computer Forensics. The paper also illustrates why, in the wake of 9–11 and other terrorist acts, the research and development of Computer Forensics is of international importance.

An Evaluation of Windows-Based Computer Forensics Application Software Running on a
2016Co-Authors: Gregory H. CarltonAbstract:The two most common Computer Forensics applications perform exclusively on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, yet contemporary Computer Forensics examinations frequently encounter one or more of the three most common operating system environments, namely Windows, OS-X, or some form of UNIX or Linux. Additionally, government and private Computer Forensics laboratories frequently encounter budget constraints that limit their access to Computer hardware. Currently, Macintosh Computer systems are marketed with the ability to accommodate these three common operating system environments, including Windows XP in native and virtual environments. We performed a series of experiments to measure the functionality and performance of the two most commonly used Windows-based Computer Forensics applications on a Macintosh running Windows XP in native mode and in two virtual environments relative to a similarly configured Dell personal Computer. The research results are directly beneficial to practitioners, and the process illustrates affective pedagogy whereby students were engaged in applied research

ten year synthesis review a baccalaureate program in Computer Forensics
Conference on Information Technology Education, 2016Co-Authors: Jigang LiuAbstract:This study is a ten-year synthesis review on running a baccalaureate program in Computer Forensics at a public university in the states. As an emerging field in technology as well as in law and legal systems, Computer Forensics has established its own position in the modern society. Although there are many similarities to introducing a new product or starting up a new company, having a new four-year program in a cutting edge field out of ground and running presents different hurdles and unique challenges. Based on the analysis and assessment on how a baccalaureate program in Computer Forensics has been implemented at a public university for last ten years, lessons learned and recommendations made in the paper are helpful to those who are currently running or about to begin offering or thinking to propose a similar program in an emerging technology field. While the technology never stops advancing, the higher education should continue updating its curricula to prepare its students in adapting to and thriving in this ever changing world.

implementing a baccalaureate program in Computer Forensics
Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, 2010Co-Authors: Jigang LiuAbstract:Since the beginning of this century, motivated by the demand for professionals in Computer Forensics from the industry, law enforcement, and government in dealing with internal affairs and fighting against digital crimes and terrorism in cyberspace, various curriculum programs have been developed, including certificate, associate, baccalaureate, and graduate programs. In this paper, we will share our experience in implementing a baccalaureate program in Computer Forensics with respects to its challenges and implementation tactics and strategies. We hope our experience will help others not only in developing a program in a Computer Forensics related area but also in exploring a new program in one of the other emerging technology fields.

a comparative study of forensic science and Computer Forensics
Secure Software Integration and Reliability Improvement, 2009Co-Authors: Ryan Hankins, Tetsutaroh Uehara, Jigang LiuAbstract:As the internet has reached every corner of the world as well as every aspect of our life, illegal activities go with it as well. In dealing with this phenomenon, a new professional and academic field, Computer Forensics, has emerged since the beginning of this century, The growth and advance of the new field has been steady, mainly because it has been following the path of forensic science due to the similarities between the two fields, as well as professionals’ experience and understanding of the field. As forensic science has been challenged and asked to have a major overhaul by a congressionally mandated report recently, where should Computer Forensics go? Based on a comparative study in various facets of both forensic science and Computer Forensics, some suggestions and considerations have been drawn in this paper, which imply that Computer Forensics may need to reposition itself to better promote the field over the long run.
