Computer Networks Layers
- TCP/IP protocol suite and OSI 7-layer model are presented.
- The TCP/IP model is a hybrid model combining the layers.
Encapsulation and Decapsulation
- Data is encapsulated with headers at each layer of the model.
- Headers are added at each layer (application, transport, network, data link, physical).
- Each layer adds its header to the data before sending it to the next layer.
- The process of unpacking the headers is known as decapsulation.
- The process of packaging the data with headers at each layer is called encapsulation.
Encapsulation and Decapsulation Example
- Server A sends a webpage to B.
- The webpage is broken into chunks.
- Headers are added to each chunk—HTTP, TCP, IP, MAC—along with a trailer.
- The frame is converted to bits (0s and 1s).
- The bits are sent through the network.
- PC B receives the bits and unpacks the headers (decapsulation).
- The webpage is assembled by removing the headers.
Forensic Science
- Forensic science is the application of science to the justice system.
- It aims to resolve both civil and criminal cases.
- Forensic science commonly involves criminal case investigations.
- It is used to associate people, places, and things to criminal activities.
- The discipline divides into distinct parts, like the definition itself.
Evidence Processing
- Crime scene investigation starts with evidence processing.
- Three phases are typically involved: recovery, examination, and interpretation.
- The recovery involves gathering evidence.
- Examination involves detailed analysis in a lab.
- Interpretation is the process of determining the meaning of the evidence found.
Recovery and Continuity of Evidence
- Integrity of evidence is crucial.
- Documentation of each evidence step is required.
- The chain of custody records who handled the evidence, when, and how.
- Records must track who handled the evidence, keeping track of contamination, deterioration, and mislabeling.
- Courts require a documented and uninterrupted chain of custody.
Loss of Integrity
- Includes tampering, accidental contamination, deterioration, and accidental mislabeling.
- Proper packaging and storage are crucial.
- Use of tamper-evident seals and secure evidence storage is important.
- Documentation needs to be preserved throughout the process.
