Fundamental Computing Forensics for Africa

This book presents a general introduction to the computational aspects of forensic science, covering the different tools needed for forensic investigations, the importance of forensics and biometrics, and the use of Benford's law for biometrics and network traffic analysis. It specifically focuses on the application of these techniques in Africa, and how they can be of benefit in the investigation of crime in Nigeria in particular.

Focuses on the application of computational aspects of forensic science for solving crimes in Africa Reviews the state of the art in computing forensics for researchers in Nigeria, supported by practical case studies Motivates readers to work towards establishing a greater application of forensic science in Nigeria, and in Africa in general
