Description
The objective of the cyberforensics signature area is to become the primary national and international resource for the developing scientific discipline of digital forensic science. The cyberforensics team is following a 3-phased approach based on the development of the Purdue Cyberforensics Lab that was officially opened Summer '04. The approach focuses on (1) education and training for students, faculty, and law enforcement, (2) leading edge research in cyberforensics, and (3) operational support for federal, state, and local law enforcement. The SIG has a memorandum of understanding in place with the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), the Indiana State Police, the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS/CS Department) and ITaP. An additional and equally important objective is to develop an area of specialization in cyberforensics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Currently, there are 9 masters students and 2 doctoral students focusing their studies in the area of cyberforensics.
