Advances in Digital Forensics XIX

Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence.  Computer networks, cloud computing, smartphones, embedded devices and the Internet of Things have expanded the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations.  Practically every crime now involves some aspect of digital evidence; digital forensics provides the techniques and tools to articulate this evidence in legal proceedings.  Digital forensics also has myriad intelligence applications; furthermore, it has a vital role in cyber security - investigations of security breaches yield valuable information that can be used to design more secure and resilient systems.  This volume contains fourteen revised and edited chapters based on papers presented at the Nineteenth IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics held at SRI International in Arlington, Virginia, USA on January 30-31, 2023.  A total of 24 full-length papers were submitted for presentation at the conference.
