1st Edition
by André Årnes (Editor)
The definitive text for
students of digital forensics, as well as professionals looking to
deepen their understanding of an increasingly critical field
Written
by faculty members and associates of the world-renowned Norwegian
Information Security Laboratory (NisLab) at the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology (NTNU), this textbook takes a scientific approach
to digital forensics ideally suited for university courses in digital
forensics and information security. Each chapter was written by an
accomplished expert in his or her field, many of them with extensive
experience in law enforcement and industry. The author team comprises
experts in digital forensics, cybercrime law, information security and
related areas.
Digital forensics is a key competency in meeting
the growing risks of cybercrime, as well as for criminal investigation
generally. Considering the astonishing pace at which new information
technology – and new ways of exploiting information technology – is
brought on line, researchers and practitioners regularly face new
technical challenges, forcing them to continuously upgrade their
investigatory skills. Designed to prepare the next generation to rise to
those challenges, the material contained in Digital Forensics
has been tested and refined by use in both graduate and undergraduate
programs and subjected to formal evaluations for more than ten years.
- Encompasses all aspects of the field, including methodological, scientific, technical and legal matters
- Based
on the latest research, it provides novel insights for students,
including an informed look at the future of digital forensics
- Includes
test questions from actual exam sets, multiple choice questions
suitable for online use and numerous visuals, illustrations and case
example images
- Features real-word examples and scenarios,

Digital Forensics is
an excellent introductory text for programs in computer science and
computer engineering and for master degree programs in military and
police education. It is also a valuable reference for legal
practitioners, police officers, investigators, and forensic
practitioners seeking to gain a deeper understanding of digital
forensics and cybercrime.
