Date of Defense 2007-09-19 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis presents a novel interface for collaborative Digital Forensics. The improvementin the process management and remote access apropos of the use of current Digital Forensic
tools in the area of Digital Forensics is described in this thesis. The architecture presented,
uses current technology and implements standard security procedures. In addition, the
development of software modules, elaborated later on in this thesis, makes this architecture
secure, portable, robust, reliable, scalable and convenient as a solution. Such a solution,
presented in this thesis, is not speci c to any Digital Forensics tool or operating platform
making it a portable architecture.
A primary goal of this thesis has been the development of a solution that could support
law-enforcement agency needs for remote digital decryption. The interface presented here
aims to achieve this goal. The use of two popular Digital Forensic tools and their integration
with this interface had led to a fully operational portal with 24X7 digital decryption
processing capabilities for agents to use.
A secondary goal was to investigate ideas and techniques that could be helpful in the
eld of passphrase" generation and recovery. The implementation of certain computational
models to support in this research is under way. The interface has been designed with
features that would be part of the foundational work of developing new passphrase breaking
software components.
Establishing a dedicated setup for the Digital Forensic tools and creating a secure, reliable
and user-friendly interface for it, has been a major component of the overall development
e ort in creating the portal.
