Master’s Thesis:
Effectively acquiring and using digital evidence to incriminate computer criminals is one of the goals of computer forensics research. Aiding law enforcement to better investigate computer crime was the motivation of my master’s degree (December 2008) research. My research comprised designing a forensically secure system log architecture so that the crime evidence contained in syslogs can be considered valid and reliable in a court of law. My thesis is titled “A Novel Authentication And Validation Mechanism For Analyzing Syslogs Forensically” and is available here.
I successfully defended my thesis on May 2, 2008.
