CSC 351 - DIGITAL FORENSICS

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Computer Science

Description:

Digital Forensics entails the collection, organization, explanation, and presentation of evidence assembled in the course of investigations initiated by legal and law enforcement personnel to substantiate or refute legal proceedings of a criminal or non-criminal nature. Because computer scientists play a key role in defining and using technologies for digital forensics, their involvement in such activities is extremely critical. The purpose of this course is to engage the student into digital forensics activities from three viewpoints. The first viewpoint involves looking at digital forensics from the standpoint of the activities and issues faced by the digital forensics expert. The second viewpoint is to consider the nature of the contributions that computer scientists can make to the field of digital forensics through the creation and advancement of algorithms to aid in forensics analytical tasks. Finally the third viewpoint will be to examine digital forensics from the viewpoint of the legal personnel involved and to consider their requirements for evidence and explanation.
