Digital forensics is a critical area of forensic science research. New electronic devices and systems are constantly being developed, and these are at risk of being compromised by cybercriminals. The University of South Alabama will bring together academic researchers and industry/agency partners to identify specific projects in Digital Forensics Information Intelligence and work towards establishing a research site that would be part of a larger, multi-site Center for Advanced Research in Forensic Science. The researchers will focus on basic and fundamental research topics in digital forensics that will support industry innovation, economic growth, and national security by making new technologies safer and more secure. The University of South Alabama also has multiple, established channels for dissemination of research findings, K-12 science outreach, undergraduate and graduate student training, and support of diversity and the inclusion of underrepresented groups in the STEM sciences.The University of South Alabama will hold a planning meeting with the goal of establishing a research site in an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Advanced Research in Forensic Science (CARFS). The mission of the proposed Center is to provide a multidisciplinary forum for advancing research, innovation, and training in the forensic sciences. The University of South Alabama research site will focus on Digital Forensics Information Intelligence (DFII), which is the development, testing and implementation of novel approaches to detect and understand compromises to electronic devices, information systems, and software. The research site will undertake industry-collaborative, long-term research addressing such topics as malicious software analysis, detection and exploitation; and technology evaluation. Application areas include mobile devices, additive manufacturing, medical devices, and transportation systems. This is a critical area of research, given the constant development of new electronic devices and systems and their risk of compromise by cybercriminals. This planning grant is jointly supported by NSF and the National Institute of Justice.

数字取证是法医学研究的关键领域。新的电子设备和系统正在不断开发，这些设备和系统有可能受到网络犯罪分子的损害的风险。南阿拉巴马大学将召集学术研究人员和行业/代理机构合作伙伴，以确定数字取证信息情报中的特定项目，并致力于建立一个研究站点，该研究网站将成为大型，多站点的法医科学高级研究中心。研究人员将专注于数字取证中的基本和基本研究主题，这些主题将通过使新技术更安全，更安全，以支持行业创新，经济增长和国家安全。南阿拉巴马大学还拥有多个既定渠道，用于传播研究结果，K-12科学宣传，本科和研究生培训，对多样性的支持以及在STEM科学中的代表性不足的群体的支持。南阿拉巴马大学将持有一项计划的计划，目的是在一项工业/UCRCERIC研究中心（I/UCRC）建立一个研究站点（I/UCRC）（I/UCR）（I/UCR）（I/UCR）。拟议中心的使命是为进行法医学的研究，创新和培训提供一个多学科论坛。南阿拉巴马大学研究站点将重点关注数字取证信息情报（DFII），这是针对电子设备，信息系统和软件的新方法的开发，测试和实施。该研究网站将进行行业合作，长期研究，以解决恶意软件分析，检测和剥削等主题；和技术评估。应用领域包括移动设备，添加剂制造，医疗设备和运输系统。鉴于新的电子设备和系统的不断发展及其因网络犯罪分子而妥协的风险，这是一个关键的研究领域。 NSF和国家司法研究所共同支持了这项计划赠款。
