Advanced Forensics Format library and utilities

The Advanced Forensic Format (AFF) is an emerging standard for storing computer forensic information. Critical features of AFF include: - AFF allows you to store both computer forensic data and associated metadata in one or more files. - AFF allows files to be digital singed, to provide for chain-of-custody and long-term file integrity. - AFF allows for forensic disk images to stored encrypted and decrypted on-the-fly for processing. This allows disk images containing privacy sensitive material to be stored on the Internet. - AFF is an open format unencumbered by copyright or patent protection. The AFFLIB library that implements AFF is available for use in both Open Source and proprietary tools.
