Using parallel processing for file carving
It addresses the slow processing times in digital forensics, which is incremental as it applies existing parallel techniques to a known bottleneck.
This paper tackles the computational inefficiency of file carving in digital forensic investigations by exploring parallel processing on GPUs, aiming to develop tools that are significantly faster than conventional methods.
File carving is one of the most important procedures in Digital Forensic Investigation (DFI). But it is also requires the most computational resources. Parallel processing on Graphics Processing Units have proven to be many times faster than when executed on standard CPU. This paper is inspecting the algorithms and methods to use parallel processing for development of file carving tools that will do their job much faster than the conventional DFI tools.
