“…Investigative (search) actions at the accident scene are carried out in order to identify, evaluate, and examine evidentiary information that may be relevant for criminal proceedings (Nassif, 2019;Riadi et al, 2023). The investigator applies the existing arsenal of scientific and technical developments, since they are responsible for the course of the pre-trial investigation (Wang et al, 2018;Karthikeyan et al, 2023).…”

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the importance of expert investigations into war crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine. Since many of these crimes result in the death or injury of victims, forensic examinations play a key role in investigations under the Criminal Procedure Code. The purpose of the study was to update the significance of the results of forensic medical examination in proceedings on war crimes, and to identify problematic aspects of the appointment of such an examination simultaneously with proposals for ways to overcome them. The methodological basis of the study was general scientific (dialectical, analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction) and special methods (system and structural, comparative legal, formal logical). It is established that modern capabilities of forensic medical examination contribute to achieving the goal of pre-trial investigation of military torts in limited conditions of forming a high-quality evidence base for such proceedings. However, the effective use of the potential of forensic medical examinations is hindered by a number of problems caused not only by the consequences of active military operations, but also by shortcomings in the legal regulation of this type of forensic examination, imperfect organisation of the structure and functioning of forensic medical institutions during the time of emergency. Possible ways to overcome the identified difficulties are proposed: reorganisation of the structure of forensic medical institutions, in particular, by establishing a department for forensic examination of corpses within a mobile military hospital with the involvement of specially trained forensic experts; simplification of the procedure for processing documents where the results of external examination of the corpse are recorded; updating the regulatory support for the activities of forensic doctors during martial law. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the conclusions obtained will help expand the understanding of pre-trial investigation officers of the possibilities of forensic medical examinations in the investigation of war crimes, and will also help identify the problems arising when appointing such examinations and suggest ways to solve them

“…WhatsApp has been a target to many cyber-attacks to distribute destructive content or gain unauthorized access to users' accounts [4]. For instance, WhatsApp users have recently been attacked by cybercriminals, who use Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) to deliver malware to gain unauthorized access to user accounts.…”

WhatsTrust: A Trust Management System for WhatsApp

et al. 2020

Online communication platforms face security and privacy challenges, especially in broad ecosystems, such as online social networks, where users are unfamiliar with each other. Consequently, employing trust management systems is crucial to ensuring the trustworthiness of participants, and thus, the content they share in the network. WhatsApp is one of the most popular message-based online social networks with over one billion users worldwide. Therefore, it is considered an attractive platform for cybercriminals who spread malware to gain unauthorized access to users’ accounts to steal their data or corrupt the system. None of the few trust management systems proposed in the online social network literature have considered WhatsApp as a use case. To this end, this paper introduces WhatsTrust, a trust management system for WhatsApp that evaluates the trustworthiness of users. A trust value accompanies each message to help the receiver make an informed decision regarding how to deal with the message. WhatsTrust is extensively evaluated through a strictly controlled empirical evaluation framework with two well-established trust management systems, namely EigenTrust and trust network analysis with subjective logic (TNA-SL) algorithms, as benchmarks. The experimental results demonstrate WhatsTrust’s dominance with respect to the success rate and execution time.

The Internet of Things (IoT), a rapidly evolving network of connected devices, is expected to grow to an astounding 41.6 billion units by 2025. This exponential growth, while beneficial in terms of data collection and exchange, has also increased the vulnerability of these devices to sophisticated cyberattacks, notably the Mirai botnet malware. This paper centers on the distinctive challenges posed in the field of IoT forensics. These challenges are primarily due to the intricate and diverse nature of IoT devices and ecosystems, which complicate the application of standard forensic tools and methodologies. One of the most significant hurdles in IoT forensics is data acquisition, considering the vast diversity of devices and the lack of specialized forensic tools tailored to these unique environments. The paper conducts a thorough literature review to explore these challenges in depth, aiming to not only provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of IoT forensics but also to identify potential avenues for future research and development. It also highlights key strategies and solutions to enhance the security of IoT devices and to support forensic investigators in navigating the complexities of IoT ecosystems. Through this exploration, the paper contributes valuable insights and guidelines, poised to shape the advancement of IoT device security and forensic investigation techniques.
