Abstract
The evolution of modern electronic devices is outpacing the scalability and effectiveness of the tools used to analyze digital evidence recovered from them. Indeed, current digital forensic techniques and tools are unable to handle large datasets in an efficient manner. As a result, the time and effort required to conduct digital forensic investigations are increasing. This paper describes a promising digital forensic visualization framework that displays digital evidence in a simple and intuitive manner, enhancing decision making and facilitating the explanation of phenomena in evidentiary data.
