CSC347 - File Forensics

Credit Hours: 4

Course Description

The availability of cloud storage services is becoming a popular option for consumers to store data that is accessible via a range of devices, such as personal computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Use of cloud computing by criminals (or their victims) means that data files of interest may be virtualized, geographically distributed, and ephemeral, presenting technical and jurisdictional challenges for identification and seizure by law enforcement and national security agencies. This course is designed to examine the crossroads of file storage and network forensics, so this data can be retrieved and brought to court as evidence.
