This course covers legal issues that InfoSec and digital forensics professionals should be well versed in. We will approach digital forensics as a science of acquiring, recovering, documenting, and analysis of information contained within and created with computing devices so that evidence will be admissible in a court of law or other legal/administrative proceeding. This is a hybrid course (online and in-class) that will be held on Saturdays. This course is part of the Digital Forensics Certificate and is an elective for both the Information Security Degree and Network Security Certificate.

Computer Forensic Protocols
