Will quantum computers be the end of public key encryption? (2016)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W., & Woodward, A. (2016). Will quantum computers be the end of public key encryption?. Journal of Cyber Security Technology, 1(1), 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1080/23742917.2016.1226650

The emergence of practical quantum computers poses a significant threat to the most popular public key cryptographic schemes in current use. While we know that the well-understood algorithms for factoring large composites and solving the discrete log... Read More about Will quantum computers be the end of public key encryption?.

A RAM triage methodology for Hadoop HDFS forensics (2016)
Journal Article
Leimich, P., Harrison, J., & Buchanan, W. J. (2016). A RAM triage methodology for Hadoop HDFS forensics. Digital Investigation, 18, 96-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diin.2016.07.003

This paper discusses the challenges of performing a forensic investigation against a multi-node Hadoop cluster and proposes a methodology for examiners to use in such situations. The procedure's aim of minimising disruption to the data centre during... Read More about A RAM triage methodology for Hadoop HDFS forensics.

Password Pattern and Vulnerability Analysis for Web and Mobile Applications (2016)
Journal Article
