Abstract:
In a digital evidence collection method, an evidence collection device sends an evidence collection request message requesting permission of evidence collection to a notarization server through a notarization agent. The notarization server sends a collection permission message permitting evidence collection to the evidence collection device through the notarization agent. The evidence collection device requests evidence data from an evidence collection target system through the notarization agent. The evidence collection target system transmits the evidence data to the notarization agent. The notarization agent encrypts the evidence data and transfers encrypted evidence data to the evidence collection device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for collecting digital evidence from a target system to be analyzed at a remote location and then providing security in a remote digital forensic environment based on the collected digital evidence. The method of providing security includes making, by a security providing apparatus, an evidence collection request for collection of evidence of an evidence collection-target apparatus from an evidence collection agent in a remote digital forensic environment, collecting evidence data corresponding to the evidence collection request from the evidence collection agent, verifying the evidence data based on a signature value of the evidence data collected from the evidence collection agent, generating evidence analysis data based on the verified evidence data, verifying the evidence analysis data based on a signature value of the evidence analysis data, and providing security for the evidence collection-target apparatus based on results of the verification of the evidence analysis data.
