DIGITAL EVIDENCE OBJECT

Digital Evidence Object (DEO) model for digital forensic investigation and described its application. The Model is based on the principles of the category theory, and is used for digital investigation analysis with respect to the 5Ws (Why, When, Where, What, and Who) and supports situation-aware intelligent time-critical decision making and automated knowledge discovery in digital forensics domain... Our goal to reducing the number of digital evidences in cybercrime investigations has been achieved. Experiments with models and the DEIC Tool have shown a real opportunity to contribute to reducing cybercrime.
