BREITINGER, Frank; JOTTERAND, Alexandre. Sharing datasets for digital forensic: A novel taxonomy and legal concerns. Forensic Science International: Digital Investigation, vol. 45, 2023, article 301562. DOI: 10.1016/j.fsidi.2023.301562.

Abstract (AI generated)

Datasets for digital forensics have changed considerably, with new data generation frameworks and NIST’s CFReDS website, while funders increasingly require datasets to be shared in a findable and processable way. The core of this article is a novel taxonomy to structure the data commonly used in the field. Based on it, the authors show that releasing a dataset is not always necessary, address the legal aspects of sharing data, and propose a distinction between structured, semi-structured and unstructured data.
