A Network-Based Architecture for Storing Digital Evidence

Abstract: The storage and handling of digital evidence are creating significant challenges for federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The problems include acquiring and processing massive amounts of digital evidence, maintaining the integrity of the evidence, and storing digital evidence for extended periods of time. This paper describes a networkbased storage architecture that helps address these issues. The architecture also supports collaborative efforts by examiners and investigators located at geographi… Show more

“…SAN is a segmented area of the network that handles data storage and transfer between computers and storage elements [8]. SAN is a particular network architecture consisting of servers, storage, and hosts designed to handle large amounts of data traffic between servers and storage devices and separate intensive backup traffic from normal traffic.…”

“…The solution for storage can refer to the storage technology that has been available, for instance, as developed by Rimage [41]. Besides, the solution for storage can also be through the application of some topology storages as done by [40] through the implementation of NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network) in a concept called DECL (Digital Evidence Storage Locker).…”

“…Storage of digital evidence is not just ordinary storage, but it should have technical specifications that comply with the provisions of the law, for example, the ability of data storage, data maintenance as well as data recovery [40] As any other storage, digital evidence storage should pay attention to a number of criteria, namely: read/write data technology applied in the storage, strength and durability of the storage, as well as its architecture. The solution for storage can refer to the storage technology that has been available, for instance, as developed by Rimage [41].…”

“…Research focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of digital forensic analyses include distributed analytical processing [56], datamining-based search processes [5], file classification to aid analysis [60], self-organizing neural networks for thematically clustering string search results [6], and massive threading via graphical processing units (GPUs) [38]. Researchers have also investigated network-based architectures and virtualization infrastructures to facilitate large evidence stores, case and digital asset management systems, and collaborative, geographically distributed analysis [19,20].…”
