Forensic challenges on multimedia analytics, big data and the internet of things

The speed of change in the digital world is challenging for forensic investigations. New devices are developed rapidly and the Internet of Things is also emerging. Getting access to devices is getting more complicated due to stronger encryption. The other issue is that the amount of multimedia data is expanding rapidly and finding relevant evidence is often a challenge. Several challenges can be handled by developing big data analysis platforms that are flexible in incorporating new methods and using artificial intelligence as well as deep learning. Since evidence must be used in court, the validation of the results is important to explain the possibilities and limitations of the forensic analysis.
