Deliverables
A system that, given the characteristics of a particular malware, will compute how close it is to the optimal model and estimate its maximum profitability, and the threat it poses.
A First Training Session will be held to share the training modules with the project partners responsible for the validation.
Project website, up and running since the beginning of the project, updated regularly.
The targets of the second training session will be students at police colleges/academies and experienced police officers actively engaged in Internet forensics who can function as trainers and facilitators at their home organizations.
This report will present the functional requirements and the technical specification derived from them.
Report on ethical and privacy considerations.
This report will collect both the analysis on the usage of alternate cryptocurrencies in cybercrime, and the data and insights gained by applying the methodologies we developed for Bitcoin to other relevant cryptocurrencies.
Internal Protocol for ethical procedures for the consortium to follow with regards to ensuring adequate ethical standards are met and that data protection measures are taken.
A concise briefing paper for Law Enforcement Agencies to inform them of the various social and ethical implications of digital surveillance practices within forensic investigation online.
Report detailing all possible economic improvements over the existing models
A collection of the dissemination materials such as the project brochure, publications of the project results and the presentations at the conferences and at the other forums. Each material will be made available throughout the project at different times, although a compilation will be provided at the end. Besides, a final report will be prepared that will include detailed information on the procedures and the outcomes of the project. This final report will be published as a hard copy and be made available in digital format. Along with the final report, a conference will be organized to expose the results of the project to the relevant audience and stakeholders.
Report with the Sub Committees members.
Digital training materials will facilitate practice and revision through e-learning platforms, both before and after the training sessions.
A report on the stakeholders and the liaison activities with other relevant European projects and initiatives.
Report with findings on economic modelling of malware as a business model.
Report on the use and prevalence of image and video steganography over Social Media
Overview on current knowledge and best practices for digital surveillance by LEAs.
