Encouraging Different Perspectives in Digital Forensics: September Research
The discussion about how to mitigate human bias in forensic science continued in September. Inclusiveness is a key part of this, not just in terms of racial, gender, ability, or other identity, but also in terms of expertise. This month … Read more
Research Roundup: Problem Solving In Digital Forensics
Digital forensics research last month fell fairly neatly into two categories, each of which sought to solve bigger problems in the field. In the first category is ensuring quality via frameworks such as service levels, better supporting first responders, reporting, … Read more
Research Roundup: Micro Analysis To Macro Implications In Digital Forensics
Our brief roundup this month looks at seven recent papers, which look at improving malware detection and acquisition, analyzing instant messaging apps and the Zoom platform, the future of digital forensics tools and practice, and finally, a framework for forensic … Read more
Digital Forensics Research: Recapping DFRWS-EU 2021
Held virtually once again in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Digital Forensics Research Workshop Virtual Europe (DFRWS-EU) embodied its vision of cultivating an inclusive, transdisciplinary approach in both program and activities by featuring 10 of the 29 research paper … Read more
Research Roundup: New Digital Forensic Insights And Opportunities
February’s research in digital forensics isn’t just about the papers presented at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS)’ annual meeting, or those published in the various journals. Last month also saw new research opportunities, either for an impact study … Read more
Digital Forensics Research Looks To The Future
January was a somewhat light month in the way of digital forensics research publication, though the introduction of an Asia-Pacific (APAC) installment of the Digital Forensics Research Workshop (DFRWS) conference more than made up for it. This month we feature … Read more
Cooperation Between Academia And Law Enforcement: Challenges And Opportunities
Digital forensics research often depends on casework: specific problems with a device, operating system, app, or artifact that a forensic examiner needs to solve.
That isn’t always the case, though. Sometimes the problem has a broader scope, or the examiner … Read more
A Springboard To Digital Forensics Research In 2021
The end of 2020 could not come fast enough for most of us, and yet, as the year wound down, some things — such as the digital forensics research recapped in this article — were worth slowing down for. This … Read more
Research Roundup: Finding New Cultural And Technical Opportunities
One of the most interesting and important things about digital forensics research is the way legal, cultural, and operational landscapes in different countries inform and even drive the research. In other words, digital technology doesn’t exist in a vacuum, even … Read more
Research Roundup: Communicating Uncertainty In Digital Forensics Results
Recently, we reported on two papers that described ways to reduce the risk of mistaken interpretations of digital evidence. Evaluating the uncertainty of evidence, the authors wrote, could bring more structure — and trust — to digital forensics.
We continue … Read more
Digital Forensic Evidence And Artifacts: Recent News And Research
This month’s academic research reflects two aspects of the changing digital forensics industry: new ways to think not just about digital artifacts, but also about broader investigative processes — including interagency cooperation.
This round-up article includes three open-access articles from … Read more
