Forwarded from: Kevin O'Shea <koshea@private> [With no attachments to the list allowed, please grab the report from their site listed below. - WK] INSTITUTE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY STUDIES AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE Technical Analysis Group Law Enforcement Tools and Technologies for Investigating Cyber Attacks: Research and Development Agenda June 29, 2004 Please find attached a new report, Law Enforcement Tools and Technologies for Investigating Cyber Attacks: A National Research and Development Agenda. This study is the culmination of a multi-year research effort by the Technical Analysis Group at the Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS). In this document we present the top band of critical problem areas encountered during cyber attack investigations that may be addressed through research and development. Solving the needs outlined in this work would significantly increase law enforcement's ability to investigate and prosecute cyber attack cases. We offer this agenda to serve as a resource for decision makers, developers, and researchers, in government, industry, and academic institutions across the country. Additional copies of the report are available at: < www.ists.dartmouth.edu/TAG/randd.htm > Previous authoritative reports called for further study of law enforcement needs; ISTS responded by conducting a series of three focused national studies to identify, analyze and prioritize the technology needs of cyber attack investigators and prosecutors. ISTS researchers worked in cooperation with federal, state, and local law enforcement organizations, private sector groups, academic institutions, and government sponsored research and development entities in the United States to produce the National Research and Development Agenda. The data in this report, third in the series, was collected and analyzed from September 2001 to December 2003. Readers wishing to learn more about all of the law enforcement needs discovered during this study may refer to the two reports that preceded the Research and Development Agenda titled Law Enforcement Tools and Technologies for Investigating Cyber Attacks: A National Needs Assessment and Law Enforcement Tools and Technologies for Investigating Cyber Attacks: Gap Analysis Report available from < http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu/TAG >.
