Research of Computer Forensics Based on Benford’s Law

Abstract:

In this paper we construct model in computer forensics by using Benford’s Law, which is one of three famous laws in statistics in linguistics. Especially, we use Benford’s Law to analyze data in file analysis and Anomaly detection. We illustrate that Benford’s Law is able to supply the strategy for data analysis. The future work, Benford’s Law will be the theoretical rule for intelligent compression of mass data.
