Abstract

Time analysis is important for digital forensic area, and Windows 7/8 are common to be used. However, there is not much research on time analysis for Windows 7 and 8. Time analysis is a critical proof for accusing criminal. There are various time zones, and time records on Windows operating system are not clear to understand which means RTC time or local time. Therefore, time analysis on Windows operating system must be firmed and documented for investigating forensic crime. We contribute to analysis time records whenever files are generated or modified by users, so we expect that our research will be able to make ambiguous time records clear for investigating digital forensics.
