- Abstract:
- This dissertation presents a methodology for calibrating low layer network devices. The research is motivated by the probability that as courtroom admissibility requirements become important considerations for networked systems, the demand for forensically ready systems over costly and non-scalable ad hoc digital forensic investigations will necessitate a change in network protection strategies and design, including calibration of low layer network devices used to collect forensic data in networks. The work draws from a well-established theoretical approach to penetration testing. The calibration approach described in this dissertation is a compilation of four separate projects that include verification testing of a low layer network device, the development of a generalized framework for calibrating low layer network devices, the application of the framework to calibrating a specific low layer network device, and the evaluation of the calibration protocol for completeness.;The contributions of this research provide a foundation for developing a calibration standard for low layer network devices, where none currently exists. It is part of a larger research direction that explores the development of a methodology for embedding forensics in networks.
