Role of Text mining in Digital Forensic Investigation- A Review

Abstract

There is a noticeable increase in the ratio of crimes that are done by using computing technologies. The investigation of such crimes involves the investigation of digital evidence, data and communication that is done by the suspect’s computer (Digital Forensic Investigation DFI). With the increasing storage of computer devices, the amount of data in a device has also increased [4] and it takes time to investigate every data of the computer. Using data mining techniques, the DFI can be simple and less time-consuming. Data from a suspect’s computer or any digital evidence that is found at a crime scene can be grouped into the form of clusters using some keywords to classify data into the clusters. The role of this study is to present a detailed survey on the advancement of text mining for the purpose of Digital Forensic Investigation.
