Automated Data Type Identification and Localization Using Statistical Analysis Data Identification

The results from the development of this technique will greatly enhance the capabilities of legal forensic units, as well as expand the knowledge base in the fields of computer forensics and digital security. The results presented here are promising and certainly do not represent the complete capability of this new technique. They compare favorably with other techniques from recent research and with the capabilities and performance of the professional tools currently in use in real-world forensics situations.
