Abstract
This project concerns the use of scientific methods for uncovering evidences in criminal investigations involving digital objects (cell phone, computer, etc.). In short, the project aims at installing, in a durable way, a Swiss focal point and a Competence Center for producing methods, best practices and automated tools for conducting forensically sound analysis of digital devices.As of today, the criminal investigations, led by police forces, rely more and more on the scientific evidence to establish facts and culpability. However, the forensic tools and methods have a hard time to follow the increasing complexity of digital devices on the one hand, and the extremely fast changing technologies on the other hand. In particular, the forensic tools and methods needed to recover erased or hidden information from digital devices are far from being readily available at a reasonable cost.
Considering the growing importance of forensic investigation in the handling of criminal cases, research is substantial in order to devise sound forensic methods for small scale digital devices. Furthermore, a focal point for law enforcement and private companies, where such expertise will develop, is crucial.
Was ist das Besondere an diesem Projekt?
This project gathers three different fields of scientific expertise, from the two main linguistic regions of Switzerland.The scientific fields range from the comprehension of low-level electronic equipment holding digital data, to the structure of information and the reconstruction of deleted/hidden evidences. To our knowledge, the pooling of such resources inside a one research project is unique.
The creation of a distributed competence center in order to structure this pooling is also a premiere in Switzerland.
Stand/Resultate
This project is in its start-up phase: Recruitment of staff; Setup of tools; Initial contacts with the project supporters.Publikationen
