Abstract

The chapter delves into the distinctive challenges faced by digital forensics compared to the broader cybersecurity field. Initially driven by law enforcement, digital forensics tools and models have evolved rapidly, often outpacing academic research. The text highlights the necessity for proactive research to address the data revolution and the increasing complexity of investigations involving multiple devices and vast amounts of data. It also discusses the potential for designing new computing paradigms with digital forensics in mind, maximizing opportunities for data collection and retention. The chapter underscores the significant backlog in digital forensic cases and the need for tools that can efficiently handle the volume and variety of data, reducing the cognitive load on investigators. Additionally, it touches on the legal acceptability of digital forensic evidence and the challenges posed by rapidly evolving technology.
