Digital Forensics In Multimedia

Abstract

Digital forensics and multimedia forensics are rapidly growing disciplines where electronic information is extracted and interpreted using scientifically accepted and validated processes, to be used in and outside of a court of law. As personal computing and the internet becomes more widespread, these two fields are becoming increasingly important in law enforcement and cybercrime investigation.Digital forensics involves investigating computer systems and digital artefacts in general, while multimedia forensics is a sub-topic of digital forensics which focuses on extracting and analyzing contents such as images, videos, and audio to produce forensic evidence from both regular computer systems and special multimedia devices, such as digital cameras, voice recorders etc. This paper seeks to shed some light on digital forensics in multimedia, methods of authentication and challenges.
