Digital forensic investigation is a time-consuming process, particularly when it comes to manually correlating information between different custodians. Existing methods have been limited in their ability to provide a complete overview of relevant activities and events. In response, this research project has developed a new framework that uses metadata and document entity correlation to identify correlations between custodians. The resulting insights are novel, providing a unique overview of custodian data and a clearer understanding of document content and revisions. Using this framework, digital forensic investigators can extract relevant activity or event-based data, create custom activity or event-based correlation data, and generate event graphs. This approach is an efficient and practical way to generate actionable insights for large-scale investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
