CSC 620 Digital Forensics Technology
The primary objective of this course is to provide a broad understanding of the technologies and tools used to perform digital forensics for the detection and prevention of computer crimes. Various techniques of forensic evidence acquisition, detection, and classification will be introduced. Core principles of a few forensically-oriented data processing technologies such as compression, watermarking, steganography, steganalysis, cryptanalysis, and multiresolutional analysis will be studied. The course will also include different modalities of data such as binary, text, audio, image, and video, as applicable to different modalities of forensics such as hardware, software, computer, network, and memory.
