Digital forensics research in the news
A Computing Science researcher's work has featured in the national news. George Grispos, a PhD Student in the School, is investigating the challenges of digital forensics in cloud computing and pervasive environments. His recent paper on the analysis of remnant cloud storage data on smartphones has featured in InformationWeek and The Register.
George's work has shown that in some cases information found on smartphones can be used to reconstruct data stored on the cloud, even if that data is no longer on the smartphone itself. The method that George is developing could be used in the future by forensic practitioners investigating crimes committed using the cloud. The work also means that individual and organisations will need to be wary when using cloud storage applications for managing their data. George is now investigating how to cross reference data on multiple devices to build up a fuller picture of the contents of a user's cloud storage account.
