The Future of Digital Forensics

Presented at NolaCon 2018, May 19, 2018, 5 p.m. (Unknown duration).

Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science practiced in the prosecution of crimes which involve digital devices. The digital forensic investigative process involves the collection, preservation, and analysis of electronic data. The goal of analysis is to draw conclusions from the evidence. Currently, the analysis phase is largely reliant on the knowledge of each individual examiner and their own specific examination process. I talk about the addition of digital forensics to the computer science research community and the potential of the this merger on society.

  • Imani Palmer
    I am a research programmer at the Information Trust Institute. My primary research focus is the abstraction of low-level data into higher-level knowledge. Specifically, I investigate the relationships among computer artifacts. I am also a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a member of Professor Roy Campbell's research group. I have a profound passion for security and privacy research. My key research focuses on science of security, applied hacking, and security education. My current research focuses on improving the digital forensic analysis process through the application of artificial intelligence, data mining, and graph theory. I am also passionate about educating the future security workforce. I conduct research in building effective security curriculum for K-12 and community college, and undergraduate.
