Abstract
This talk examines formal concepts of digital forensic investigations. To date, the field has had an applied focus and little theory exists to formally define analysis techniques and requirements. This work defines an extended finite state machine (FSM) model and uses it to describe a computer's history, which contains the primitive and abstract states and events that existed and occurred. Using this model, categories of analysis techniques can be defined. This talk describes the model, describes the categories of analysis techniques, and compares the existing tools to the analysis technique categories.About the Speaker
