The Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at
the University Of Texas at Dallas (UTD) has among its ranks 20+ faculty members
who have a proven track record in areas related to digital forensics and network
security, and are already well on their way to establishing research programs to
promote the DFSC Center’s objectives.
Objectives
The objective of the Digital Forensics and Security Center is
three-folds:
1. Perform research in Digital Forensics
and Network Security
and develop systems to:
i. Enhance and strengthen the security of computer
systems and networks so that they can withstand and survive concerted,
sophisticated security attacks aimed at crippling them, and
ii. Prevent, detect, and solve cyber crimes.
2. Foster interaction between Government, Industry and
Academic personnel involved in these activities to further the above goals.
3. Develop and teach courses for cyber-crime
