Learn to pull "digital fingerprints? from alternate data storage (ADS) devices including: iPod, Xbox, digital cameras and more from the cyber sleuths who train the Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Defense in bleeding edge digital forensics techniques. This book sets a new forensic methodology standard for investigators to use.This book begins by describing how alternate data storage devices are used to both move and hide data. From here a series of case studies using bleeding edge forensic analysis tools demonstrate to readers how to perform forensic investigations on a variety of ADS de

We summarize the results and perspectives from a companion article, where we presented and evaluated an alternative architecture for data storage in distributed networks. We name the bio-inspired architecture RAIN, and it offers file storage service that, in contrast with current centralized cloud storage, has privacy by design, is open source, is more secure, is scalable, is more sustainable, has community ownership, is inexpensive, and is potentially faster, more efficient, and more reliable. We propose that a RAIN-style architecture could form the backbone of the Internet of Things that likely will integrate multiple current and future infrastructures ranging from online services and cryptocurrency to parts of government administration.

The use of cloud-based storage systems for storing data is a popular alternative to local storage systems. Beside several benefits of cloud-based storages, there are also downsides like vendor lock-in or unavailability. Moreover, the selection of the best fitting storage solution can be a tedious and cumbersome task and the storage requirements may change over time. In this paper, we formulate a system model that uses multiple cloud-based services to realize a redundant and cost-efficient storage. Within this system model, we formulate a local and a global optimization problem that considers historical data access information and predefined quality of service requirements to select a cost-efficient storage solution. Furthermore, we present a heuristic optimization approach for the global optimization. Extensive evaluations show the benefits of our work in comparison with a baseline that follows a state-of-the-art approach. We show that our solutions save up to 30% of the cumulative cost in comparison with the baseline. ; Commission of the European Union - CREMA H2020-RIA

Biopolymers are an attractive alternative to store and circulate information. DNA, for example, combines remarkable longevity with high data storage densities and has been demonstrated as a means for preserving digital information. Inspired by the dynamic, biological regulation of (epi)genetic information, we herein present how binary data can undergo controlled changes when encoded in synthetic DNA strands. By exploiting differential kinetics of hydrolytic deamination reactions of cytosine and its naturally occurring derivatives, we demonstrate how multiple layers of information can be stored in a single DNA template. Moreover, we show that controlled redox reactions allow for interconversion of these DNA-encoded layers of information. Overall, such interlacing of multiple messages on synthetic DNA libraries showcases the potential of chemical reactions to manipulate digital information on (bio)polymers. ; C.M. is grateful for the financial support by the Swiss National Science Foundation (grant number P2EZP2_152216).
