The students in the Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics option of our BTech degree program also conduct hands-on research in the context of their research graduation projects. Their research is applied, and thus addresses pressing challenges in the area of digital forensics and cyber security. Current research projects include:

  • Detection and analysis of keyboard interceptor code.
  • File system interceptor forensics.
  • Anti-debug forensics.
  • Industrial network decoys.

A recent Bachelor of Technology Forensic Investigation graduate presented his research project at two international conferences.
