Abstract

Over the years, Java^TM has become a popular language for standalone as well as Web based applications. Portability and security are the major reasons for Java^TM success and increased level of adoption in various application domains. When evaluating security, Forensics is another area with continuous increasing interest. With research progress of the previous years efficient tools for reconstructing data from improperly deleted documents are available and opened the door for a whole new set of concerns to look at to insure security. In this paper we are describing our work in progress that is related to establishing a Java^TM framework that evaluates the traces left by Java^TM applications in order to then be able to design forensics resistant Java^TM applications.
