Abstract:

A number of cyber-security incident statistics demonstrate the extent
of leaked personal and private data from trustworthy sources as well
as cyber-attacks that target the retrieval of specific personal and
private information. Such incidents leave the identity information of
the potential victims vulnerable and can lead to identity theft. Digital
forensics is employed when there is a requirement to retrieve digital
evidence after a security incident. At present there is little cooperation
and sharing of resources and intelligence data amongst the different
digital forensic investigation agencies and stakeholders. In this talk,
the concept of a Standardized Digital Forensics Platform for Identity
Theft Investigations is presented. Such a platform can extract identity
theft artefacts regardless of the case type and nature. The centre of
gravity for this research is to develop a forensic tool capable of
identifying correlations between seemingly unrelated identity theft
evidence, effectively assisting investigators with the profiling
of perpetrators and victims. Such a tool could provide an innovative
approach to support counteractions against ID theft.
