Abstract: A system is provided for high integrity real time processing of digital forensics data. In particular, the system may comprise a distributed electronic data register that may be hosted on a plurality of distributed servers. The distributed register may store digital forensics data within a secure data record within the distributed register. In this regard, entities or individuals who are authorized to access and/or receive the evidence may submit a digital signature to the distributed register. The system may further comprise an artificial intelligence engine that may use machine learning to identify potential anomalies in real time within the chain of evidence and trigger an alert service to transmit real time alerts to one or more systems and/or users. In this way, the system provides a more secure and efficient way to store, process, and manage digital forensics data.

Abstract: Arrangements for dynamic evaluation of remotely located content are provided. In some aspects, a connection may be established between an external storage receiving device and a computing platform. The connection may include an IP secure tunnel to ensure secure transmission of data. The external storage receiving device may receive an external storage device, such as a USB drive. The computing platform may generate one or more commands configured to cause data from the USB drive to be replicated, encrypted and transmitted to the computing platform. The commands may be transmitted by the computing platform to the external storage receiving device and executed. The data may be received by the computing platform and scanned to generate a status decision. Based on the generated status decision, each file may be transferred to an output folder and transmitted to other systems or devices for further evaluation use in business, or the like.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to a computer system preventing embedded data from being surreptitiously transmitted in attached image files of e-mail messages, where the embedded data is inserted using steganography. The computer system may include a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server that transforms an attached image file and replaces the original attached image file with the transformed image file. If the attached image file comprises a stego-image file (where data is embedded in the image), a recipient of the e-mail is unable to extract the embedded data because the recipient does not know a centrally managed key. In addition, the computer system may store images that a user sends as attached files in e-mail messages over a predetermined time duration. If the user sends an e-mail message having an attached image that matches previously sent stored images, an alarm may be generated indicating a potential steganography e-mail event.
