Title: Advances In Digital Forensics Viii 8th Ifip Wg 119 International Conference On Digital Forensics Pretoria South Africa January 35 2012 Revised Selected Papers
Description: 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 VIII describes original research results and innovative applications in the 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, forensic techniques, mobile phone forensics, cloud forensics, network forensics, and advanced forensic techniques. This book is the eighth 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-two edited papers from the Eighth Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics, held at the University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa in the spring of 2012. Advances in Digital Forensics VIII 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.
