Criminal investigation & detection; Data encryption
"In the second edition of this very successful book, Tony Sammes and Brian Jenkinson show how information held in computer systems can be recovered and how it may be deliberately hidden or subverted for criminal purposes. ""Forensic Computing: A Practitioner's Guide"" is illustrated by plenty of case studies and worked examples, and will help practitioners and students gain a clear understanding of:

- how to recover information from computer systems in such a way as to ensure that its integrity cannot be challenged and that it will be accepted as admissible evidence in court the principles involved in password protection and data encryption

- the evaluation procedures used in circumventing these safeguards

- the particular legal issues associated with computer-generated evidence and how to ensure admissibility of such evidence.

This edition is fully expanded and updated with treatment of metadata files, NFTS systems, CHS and LBA addressing, and alternate data streams."

Until 1984, Professor A. J. Sammes was a serving British Army Officer with the rank of Colonel, late of the Royal Corps of Signals. His present appointment is Professor of Computing Science, in the Faculty of Military Science, Technology and Management at the Defense Academy, Cranfield University, Shrivenham. His formal qualifications include a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, a Master of Philosophy in Computer Science and a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, all degrees having been awarded by the University of London.

His testimony as an expert witness has been called in countless cases, of some of great national importance.

Reviews for Forensic Computing

From the reviews of the second edition: This book was the product of an 'arms race,. ... It is now listed as the standard text around which all the Forensic Computing courses at Cranfield and some other universities are based. ... It is filled with good practical advice and is especially good on interpreting partition tables. ... All in all this is a useful ... guide to the discipline. ... Truly the forensic computing expert is living in interesting times. (Alikelman, June, 2009)
