Towards green frameworks for digital forensics investigation

Despite the fact that digital forensics involves strict procedures and complies with fixed regulations and principles, but as this paper presents, there are plenty of opportunities that can be practically employed in digital forensics to make this science greener. Virtualization can cost effectively...
