Description:

This course is one of the requirements of the Computer Forensic Investigation Certificate Program intended primarily for criminal justice majors and law enforcement professionals, but it is also open to other students with a specific interest in the field. The course is designed to provide an introduction to the world of computer forensics and the attendant legal issues concerning privacy and electronic evidence. Crimes involving computer transactions and electronic communication over the internet have spawned a new category of investigative and virtual evidence with farreaching consequences. This course will explore forensics as the science of collecting, preserving, and analyzing data from computers so they can be admissible at a company discipline hearing or in a court of law. It will also survey problems of maintaining a secure technological environment, protecting the identity of individuals, as well as protecting confidential information. In addition, it will introduce techniques used in the collection and analysis of evidence. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course. Prerequisite: CSFI 102 and CSFI 202. 150 minutes per week. 3 credit hours.
