▼ Audio recordings from a shooting incident may provide crucial information for a criminal investigation. A typical gunshot signal includes two high amplitude and short duration impulsive signature sounds, the muzzle blast, observed in all the gunshot waveforms, and the bullet s shock wave, which can only be detected if the bullet travels at supersonic speed. Acoustic gunshot analysis generally focuses on the study of muzzle blast signals, which last only a few milliseconds. Ideally, gunshot signals needed to be record at a very high sampling rate to reveal the muzzle blast details. Real life gunshot recordings are record with equipment not designed for these high-amplitude sounds. Moreover, the recordings contain the direct sound of the gun along with multiple overlapping signals due to sound reflections from the ground, nearby surfaces, and other obstacles. The resulting reverberant recording may be difficult to interpret. To study the details of these signals in a scientific manner, we have developed a quasi-anechoic procedure to capture gunshot signals at a very high sampling rate (500 kHz samples per second) using 12 microphones covering 180° in azimuth. The recordings are made in an open air environment with a raised shooting platform and microphone position, resulting in sufficient delay between the arrival of the direct sound at the microphones and the arrival of the first reflection (from the ground). The firearms used in this experiment include a Remington 870 shotgun, 308 Winchester rifle, AR15 rifle, and a 22LR rifle. Handguns tested include a Colt 1911A1, Glock 19 with 9mm ammunition, Glock 23, Sig 239, and a Ruger SP101 with both 357 Magnum and 38 Special ammunition. A number of successive shots were record for each of the firearm type. Based on analysis of the recorded data, we find that acoustic gunshot signals vary from one firearm to another in terms of peak sound pressure and Muzzle blast duration. For a given firearm, we observe significant differences in sound level and also Muzzle blast duration as a function of azimuth and find that there is measurable variation in signal details among successive shots from the same firearm.

▼ The current approach to mass fatality victim identification depends heavily upon technologically sophisticated forensic identification techniques such as dental records, fingerprints, and DNA. This is based upon forensic experts' high level of confidence that these methodologies provide a reliable match between deceased bodies and the records of missing persons. All of these methods, however, are costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive; the availability of adequate technological resources for rapid body identification in the mass fatality context is therefore uncertain. Identification techniques that employ easily documented visible information (called conventional methods of identification), such as human physical attributes or personal effects (conventional evidence), are less labor-intensive and characterized as low technological requirements. Individual conventional evidence may not currently establish identity matching with an “adequate” level of confidence. Subjectivity common in collecting conventional evidence, together with the lack of standardized application of rules of comparison, have tagged these identification techniques with diminished forensic credibility. When appropriately managed and combined, however, conventional evidence may provide the basis for potentially effective and reliable human identification. The goal of this study is to develop a decision support tool for facilitating body identification in mass fatality incidents, particularly for developing countries with severe technology constraints. The tool employs selected human physical attributes as identification elements and utilizes forms and sketches specifically designed to collect ante-mortem (AM) and post-mortem (PM) conventional data in a format that reduces subjectivity and promotes rapid and accurate matching. A framework of similarity measures for diverse types of physical attributes is proposed. This allows computing an overall similarity score between pairs of AM and PM confronting records, where the highest score represents the highest probable AM match with a selected PM record. This system, prioritizing the AM records in an order reflecting their decreasing similarity, reduces the number of files that eventually need accessed for close examination by the authority establishing body identity. A proof-of concept simulation model is designed and conducted to test the system's concepts and explore the model's response under varied mass fatality incident scenarios. This research provides an effective tool for supporting victim identification in mass fatality incidents. By enhancing the objectivity and accuracy of the conventional identification process, the developed system increases the reliability of body identification using conventional evidence. This may reduce, under specific circumstances, the need to resort to technological methods of identification, or at least facilitate the efficiency of finding a technological match.

▼ In the Netherlands, there are generally two categories of structural forensic investigations. The first category are extensive investigations with the goal to learn from failure by investigating all aspects: technical, human and organisational. The second category are investigations that focus mainly on technical causes and the investigation goal is often determining the failure cause including designing repair measures. For this category, little information is available on used investigation processes. In literature, several investigation methodologies have been described. However, they often describe only a very general process or on the other hand very specific material related laboratory tests. Descriptions and recommended techniques on how to perform the proposed steps of an investigation are scarce. To a client ordering a damage investigation, the most important parts of the investigation are the conclusion and the recommendations. The client expects that the conclusion is correct. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the used investigation process results in a reliable (consistently good quality and able to be trusted) outcome. Basic knowledge of bias may help to indicate possible threats to the reliability of investigations. Techniques used to increase the validity and reliability of case study research can assist in developing strategies to achieve reliable forensic structural investigations. Therefore, the question of this research is: what is a reliable methodology to perform investigations into the technical cause of damages to concrete structures? The research question has been answered by studying available literature on structural forensic investigation techniques, interviewing investigators, researching investigation techniques used for aerospace accident investigations and fire cause determination, studying human error theory and case study research and concrete damage mechanisms. Based on the resulting information from studying all these disciplines the conclusion can be drawn that using a structured investigation process is essential. Therefore, this information has been used to develop an investigation methodology called the ‘investigation process model’. The model recommends the following phases: orientation, data collection, hypothesis generation, hypothesis analysis, conclusion, reporting and follow-up. These phases are split into individual steps that guide the investigator through the process. Each step contains suggestions for specific techniques varying from taking meaningful photographs on location to using a standard layout for reporting in order to execute the step properly. The investigator can select the most appropriate techniques for the project. Special attention has been paid to provide techniques to generate and analyse hypotheses in a reliable way. An example is the tool ‘Concrete Damage Handbook’ to assist the investigator in linking visual damages to possible causes. As a common thread through the model measures have been provided to limit the… Advisors/Committee Members: Terwel, Karel (mentor), Hordijk, Dick (graduation committee), Braam, Rene (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Premature deterioration of concrete due to materials-related distresses has been observed with increased frequency in airfield pavements across the United States in the past two decades. The use of a new breed of deicing chemicals based on alkali-acetates and alkali-formates, starting in the early 1990s, has been suspected to be one of the significant reasons for the increase in the observed deterioration. Previous laboratory-based studies have found that the early-age deterioration in concrete is associated with exposure to deicers causing acceleration of the Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) deterioration mechanism and consequent failure. However, no systematic forensic studies on the impact of these deicers on field concrete were conducted to correlate the lab findings with the field performance. The principal objective of this study was to determine if the acetate-based deicer usage on airfield pavements does in fact cause the accelerated ASR distress in the field or if any other potential mechanisms are in play in the field concrete. While the fundamental objective was to establish the underlying mechanisms involved in the premature failure of concrete pavements and correlate to what is being observed in the lab conditions, it was evident that deicers are indeed capable of causing ASR distress in lab concrete, and therefore have a potential to cause distress in the field. Therefore, it was considered important to have a secondary objective of developing a quick and conservative test method that can be implemented to identify aggregate materials that are potentially susceptible to ASR phenomenon in the presence of deicing chemicals, so that potential problems associated with incompatible materials is minimized. Considering that the predominant deicer used in the field is based on potassium acetate, this deicer was exclusively used in this study. Following a comprehensive forensic investigation on concrete pavements from six different airports, the results of forensic study show that the airfield pavements do have some evidence of ASR, however other materials-related distresses were also observed, including alkali-carbonate reaction, D-cracking, shrinkage cracking, and a suite of defects related to poor construction practices. These defects were confirmed through petrographic analysis and macroscopic examinations. In general, the hardened air content, strength, and modulus of elasticity of concrete appeared to be adequate in the majority of the concrete investigated. Examination of concrete to determine the depth of penetration of deicer into concrete showed that in the majority of airfields, the penetration depth was limited to ½- ¾ inch from the pavement surface. However, where concrete exhibited some cracking, slightly deeper depths of deicer penetration was observed, preferentially along the cracks. The correlation between deicer usage and ASR occurrence was not strong due to this lack of adequate penetration. However, the results of the laboratory made samples show that there is… Advisors/Committee Members: Rangaraju, Prasad, Putman , Brad, Klotz , Leidy, Juang , Hsein.

Digital images play an important role in a wide variety of settings such as news reporting, criminal investigations, etc. As a result, it is necessary to devise forensic algorithms capable of determining the source camera and the processing history of digital images. This is possible because both image editing operations and an image's source camera leave behind unique statistical traces in the same way that a criminal leaves behind fingerprints at a crime scene. Previous forensic techniques identify these fingerprints through theoretical analysis or develop heuristic features to capture their effects. These methods have their drawbacks where theoretical analysis is not always achievable and heuristic based approaches are often suboptimal. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained significant attention due to their ability to adaptively learn classification features directly from data. While a forensic analyst can use CNNs to learn forensic fingerprints, this is problematic because CNNs in their standard form tend to learn features related to an image's content as opposed to learn forensic fingerprints which are content-independent. Thus, a forensic analyst must adapt the CNN to capture forensic fingerprints from images. To do this, they must develop new CNN architectures for different forensic tasks such as camera model identification and image editing detection. Additionally, CNNs in forensics must be robust to common post-processing operations which significantly deteriorate the performance of the existing forensic algorithms. Unfortunately, techniques from computer vision to increase CNN's robustness are not effective when designing and training forensic CNNs. As a result, new techniques must be developed to design and train forensic CNNs such that they are robust enough to operate in realistic scenarios. In this dissertation, we propose a set of new deep learning approaches to perform several multimedia forensic tasks. We first develop a new type of convolutional layer within a CNN, called a `constrained convolutional layer', that can jointly suppress an image's content and adaptively learn low-level forensic classification features directly from data. The constrained CNN has proven effective at performing image manipulation detection, order of processing operations detection, image manipulation parameter estimation, and camera model feature extraction for unknown classes detection. Next, we propose the architectural design guidelines to build a new CNN architecture associated with a forensic data augmentation based training method that can capture camera's traces in post-processed color images. We demonstrate the advantage of our approach over the existing forensic methods at identifying camera models in post-processed color images through rigorous experiments and analysis.

▼ Many bridges in the United States were built using longitudinal members, called girders, made of prestressed concrete. In prestressed concrete, because concrete cannot resist high tensile forces, tensioned steel cables, called strands, are used to produce compression on the concrete member to improve its behavior when it is in service. Corrosion is a concern in old prestressed concrete bridges, especially bridges built in marine environments. Corrosion induces cracks in the concrete superstructure which accelerates the deterioration rate and can result in a partial loss of the concrete body and exposure of the embedded steel. This causes degradation in the load-carrying capacity of the bridge girders which raises a danger to vehicles, passengers, and pedestrians. Consequently, decisions need to be made by authorities on whether to replace, repair, or load post these bridges. Two main types of loads exist in bridge girders, namely shear forces and bending moments. Extensive research has focused on the ability of corroded prestressed concrete girders to resist stresses produced by moment, or flexure. However, bridge girders must also resist shear forces. This research studies the shear strength of corroded prestressed concrete girders which can, then, be expanded further to evaluate the possible retrofitting techniques for restoring, or enhancing, their shear strengths. Two old prestressed concrete girders built in the 1960's and 1970's were delivered to the Murray Structural Engineering Laboratory at Virginia Tech from two decommissioned bridges in Virginia. The two girders showed signs of deterioration due to corrosion. These signs include concrete losses, cracks, areas of unsound concrete, and exposed strands. Non-destructive testing was performed on the girders to evaluate the severity of their in-situ conditions. Then, two destructive full-scale tests were performed on each girder in the lab to estimate their actual shear strengths. Shear strengths of the girders were also predicted using four methods present in the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, AASHTO, and the American Concrete Institute, ACI, codes. In addition, analyses using other advanced tools were also carried out. Evaluation of these methods and comparisons with the experimental results were performed to reach to conclusions and recommendations for future work. Corrosion in strands seemed to not have as much influence on the shear strength as on the flexural strength. Destructive shear tests indicated that the actual shear strengths of the girders investigated in this research exceeded nominal strengths predicted by the current codes, the AASHTO and the ACI. However, the flexural strengths were reduced. Possible reasons for the girders' behaviors are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Roberts-Wollmann, Carin L.

▼ Following the 1993 Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. court case and continuing to the 2010 National Academy of Sciences report, comparative forensic toolmark examination has received many challenges to its admissibility in court cases and its scientific foundations. Many of these challenges deal with the subjective nature in determining whether toolmarks are identifiable. This questioning of current identification methods has created a demand for objective methods of identification - "objective" implying known error rates and statistically reliability. The demand for objective methods has resulted in research that created a statistical algorithm capable of comparing toolmarks to determine their statistical similarity, and thus the ability to separate matching and nonmatching toolmarks. This was expanded to the creation of virtual toolmarking (characterization of a tool to predict the toolmark it will create). The statistical algorithm, originally designed for two-dimensional striated toolmarks, had been successfully applied to striated screwdriver and quasi-striated plier toolmarks. Following this success, a blind study was conducted to validate the virtual toolmarking capability using striated screwdriver marks created at various angles of incidence. Work was also performed to optimize the statistical algorithm by implementing means to ensure the algorithm operations were constrained to logical comparison regions (e.g. the opposite ends of two toolmarks do not need to be compared because they do not coincide with each other). This work was performed on quasi-striated shear cut marks made with pliers - a previously tested, more difficult application of the statistical algorithm that could demonstrate the difference in results due to optimization. The final research conducted was performed with pseudostriated impression toolmarks made with chisels. Impression marks, which are more complex than striated marks, were analyzed using the algorithm to separate matching and nonmatching toolmarks. Results of the conducted research are presented as well as evidence of the primary assumption of forensic toolmark examination; all tools can create identifiably unique toolmarks.

Vale registrar que tal tipo de pesquisa, nestes moldes e como utilizada, não encontra paradigma nos meios policiais técnico-científicos do Brasil Aspectos como a classificação entre os diversos modus operandi encontrados em vários locais, sua compilação e comparação, através de banco de dados gerenciado por redes inteligentes, devem ser fruto da análise tecnológica feita pelo Perito Criminal encarregado do exame, adequada ao fato em si e a sua destinação, haja vista ser seu Laudo não só o documento hábil para tais discernimentos, que darão subsídios à investigação policial, como também dá rumo ao processo penal e, por via de consequência, condão em influenciar em suas conclusões.

This present study is about a research in the area of forensic science, where it proposes, through recognition of the material traces left by the criminal fact on the technical and scientific local under investigation in sum of interest information, a model for automation and computerization of criminal expert work, broadcast on line and immediate incorporation to the database of information collected, allowing processing by neural network, and providing the mapping of regions by criminal type , in other words, identification of criminal incidents by geographic area, but not only as a statistic, this useful for criminal policy, but also as an investigative tool, to import the DETAILED outline the modus operandi that once released in adaptive data bank, can perform lathing of information, indicating commonalities ( sort of default ), very useful for the investigation of ongoing crimes. It is worth noting that this type of research, and how these molds used, has no paradigm in the technical-scientific police in Brazil. Aspects such as the classification between the various modus operandi found in lots of locations, its compilation and comparison through database managed by intelligent network, must be the result of the technological analysis taken by the Criminal Expert in charge of the examination and its destination, considering its report not only be the proper document for…

The proliferation of online services and social networks makes it possible to store personal multimedia collection online and share them with family and friends anytime anywhere. Considering the increasing impact of digital multimedia and the trend of cloud computing, this dissertation explores the problem of how to evaluate trustworthiness and preserve confidentiality of online multimedia data. The dissertation consists of two parts. The first part examines the problem of evaluating trustworthiness of multimedia data distributed online. Given the digital nature of multimedia data, editing and tampering of the multimedia content becomes very easy. Therefore, it is important to analyze and reveal the processing history of a multimedia document in order to evaluate its trustworthiness. We propose a new forensic technique called ``Forensic Hash", which draws synergy between two related research areas of image hashing and non-reference multimedia forensics. A forensic hash is a compact signature capturing important information from the original multimedia document to assist forensic analysis and reveal processing history of a multimedia document under question. Our proposed technique is shown to have the advantage of being compact and offering efficient and accurate analysis to forensic questions that cannot be easily answered by convention forensic techniques. The answers that we obtain from the forensic hash provide valuable information on the trustworthiness of online multimedia data. The second part of this dissertation addresses the confidentiality issue of multimedia data stored with online services. The emerging cloud computing paradigm makes it attractive to store private multimedia data online for easy access and sharing. However, the potential of cloud services cannot be fully reached unless the issue of how to preserve confidentiality of sensitive data stored in the cloud is addressed. In this dissertation, we explore techniques that enable confidentiality-preserving search of encrypted multimedia, which can play a critical role in secure online multimedia services. Techniques from image processing, information retrieval, and cryptography are jointly and strategically applied to allow efficient rank-ordered search over encrypted multimedia database and at the same time preserve data confidentiality against malicious intruders and service providers. We demonstrate high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed techniques and provide a quantitative comparative study with conventional techniques based on heavy-weight cryptography primitives.

Incident response plans are faced with new challenges as organisations expands to the cloud, this thesis aims to highlight these challenges and their potential solutions. Our work has focused on managing the incident response in contrast to earlier work that has been focusing on preventing them.As with any development, security is seldom prioritized. Instead the focus are often aimed towards usability and functionality, which means incident response plans are written, implemented, forgotten and finally becomes obsolete. This could result in an organization losing their ability to produce acceptable forensic images, avoid severe downtime, or prevent similar incidents in the future, which are all important parts of incident response.Traditional incident response plans does not address incidents in the cloud. Thus, an absence of guidelines for managing incidents in the cloud becomes apparent. By compiling literature and performing practical experiments, this thesis exposes weaknesses in traditional incident response plans and demonstrates a need for cloud-specific incident response plans.Based on the conducted experiments, we can conclude that with our cloud-specific incident response plan as a basis, a forensic recovery from a cloud instance can be done in such a way that privacy and confidentiality is maintained. The experiments have also provided a forensically sound method for connecting tools to a cloud instance, we call this approach "Virtual Incident Response Disk" (VIRD).

Incidenthanteringsplaner ställs inför nya utmaningar vid en expandering till molnmiljö, detta arbete ämnar att belysa de problem som uppstår vid hantering av incidenter i molnmiljö samt potentiella lösningar. Incidenthantering i denna nya miljö har inte behandlats i någon större utsträckning i tidigare arbeten då forskningens fokus har legat på att förhindra incidenter istället för att hantera dessa.Som med all utveckling är det lätt att säkerhetsarbetet hamnar på efterkälken till förmån för användarvänlighet och funktion. Detta visar sig ofta inom incidenthantering där planer för incidenthantering skrivs och implementeras för att sedan glömmas bort och sedermera bli förlegade. Detta kan medföra att en organisation förlorar förmågan att producera forensiskt godtagbara avbilder vilket är en viktig del av incidenthantering.Då incidenthanteringsplaner ämnade för traditionell servermiljö inte behandlar hanteringen av incidenter i molnmiljö fungerar det inte att applicera dessa på ny teknik såsom molnmiljö. Genom att sammanställa litteratur och utföra praktiska experiment har vi i detta arbete exponerat svagheter i traditionell incidenthantering och påvisat behovet av en molnspecifik incidenthanteringsplan.Utifrån våra utförda experiment kan vi konstatera att med vår molnspecifika incidenthanteringsplan som grund kan en forensisk utvinning från en molninstans ske på så sätt att bevisets integritet och konfidentialitet bibehålls. Baserat på erfarenheter utifrån våra experiment har även en forensiskt godtagbar metod för att ansluta…

▼ We live in the information age. Our world is interconnected by digital devices and electronic communication. As such, criminals are finding opportunities to exploit our information rich electronic data. In 2014, the estimated annual cost from computer-related crime was more than 800 billion dollars. Examples include the theft of intellectual property, electronic fraud, identity theft and the distribution of illicit material. Digital forensics grew out of necessity to combat computer crime and involves the investigation and analysis of electronic data after a suspected criminal act. Challenges in digital forensics exist due to constant changes in technology. Investigation challenges include exponential growth in the number of cases and the size of targets; for example, forensic practitioners must analyse multi-terabyte cases comprised of numerous digital devices. A variety of applied challenges also exist, due to continual technological advancements; for example, anti-forensic tools, including the malicious use of encryption or data wiping tools, hinder digital investigations by hiding or removing the availability of evidence. In response, the objective of the research reported here was to automate the effective and efficient detection of anti-forensic tools. A design science research methodology was selected as it provides an applied research method to design, implement and evaluate an innovative Information Technology (IT) artifact to solve a specified problem. The research objective require that a system be designed and implemented to perform automated detection of digital artifacts (e.g., data files and Windows Registry entries) on a target data set. The goal of the system is to automatically determine if an anti-forensic tool is present, or absent, in order to prioritise additional in-depth investigation. The system performs rapid forensic triage, suitable for execution against multiple investigation targets, providing an analyst with high-level information regarding potential malicious anti-forensic tool usage. The system is divided into two main stages: 1) Design and implementation of a solution to automate creation of an application profile (application software reference set) of known unique digital artifacts; and 2) Digital artifact matching between the created reference set and a target data set. Two tools were designed and implemented: 1) A live differential analysis tool, named LiveDiff, to reverse engineer application software with a specific emphasis on digital forensic requirements; 2) A digital artifact matching framework, named Vestigium, to correlate digital artifact metadata and detect anti-forensic tool presence. In addition, a forensic data abstraction, named Application Profile XML (APXML), was designed to store and distribute digital artifact metadata. An associated Application Programming Interface (API), named apxml.py, was authored to provide automated processing of APXML documents. Together, the tools provided an automated triage system to detect anti-forensic tool presence on an… Advisors/Committee Members: Wolfe, Hank (advisor).

▼ Simple, on-site techniques that can provide information on the extent of damage and the condition of concrete are useful forensic tools. In this investigation, electronic signals obtained from flexural dynamic response of thin concrete disks in free-free mode were analyzed to identify possible indicators of changes in mechanical properties and permeability of concrete. In Phase I, the signals were investigated to determine an appropriate descriptive model and to obtain the frequency and damping characteristics. In Phase II, the dynamic elastic modulus (Ed) and air permeability index (API) were measured on concrete disks of nominal and high strength mixtures before and after heat induced damage to associate with the signal characteristics of each disk. Finally, air permeability was compared with other penetrability tests to determine the extent of damage induced on each mixture to relate to their signal characteristics. A model with linear viscous damping was found to be a better descriptor of the signals than a model with friction damping. An appropriate method to obtain the frequency and damping ratio was found to be by curve-fitting the free vibration response of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system in the time domain. Differences between model and signal were compared using the root mean square (RMS) error, which was found to be lower on damaged disks. The contribution of the resonant frequency on a signal was measured using the signal-in-noise-and-distortion (SINAD), which was found to be a potential indicator of damage. Most damaged disks exhibited signals with high SINAD and low damping and were better described by the linear viscous damping model than signals from undamaged disks with higher RMS error and lower SINAD. A decrease in dynamic modulus of elasticity and an increase in air permeability on both mixtures after high temperature exposure was associated with high SINAD of the concrete disk signals. It seems possible to determine the exposure conditions and degree of damage on a single disk through API, SINAD and Ed. API was more sensitive to an increase in permeability after heat induced damage, although a high API may not necessarily suggest adverse service conditions since for damaged specimens, the high strength mixture had higher API than the conventional strength mixture, but maintained lower rates of absorption and liquid penetrability than conventional strength specimens.
