Forensic Information Warfare Requirement Study
Abstract
The study presents an analysis of the state of the art in computer forensic technologies employed by the military, law enforcement, and business and industry sectors. Additionally, it charts the observed deficiencies in this area, by providing a research and development roadmap of consolidated requirements of all sectors of the economy which rely on the existence of a robust forensic toolset for accomplishing forensic computer investigations. An extensive survey of existing forensic tools was performed in order to develop a Forensic Information Warfare (FIW) Matrix that provides an in-depth look into the issues and the state-of-the-art technologies being used. The Computer Forensics matrix permitted the development and refinement of a FIW research and technology Road Map that integrates data from the FIW Matrix, with on-going university research, industry interests, and real forensic case data needs. The results provide a solid framework for determining the requirements for future R&D thrusts in computer forensic science.
