"Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are known for sweating the nitty-gritty details of dull but vital standards for everything from bulletproof vests to medical measurement devices and IT encryption. And now, agency experts are bringing the same precision to computer forensics, fully aware that the final say lies in the notoriously low-tech realm of the judicial system. NIST’s efforts are two-pronged: a library of software applications and programs for testing the reliability of forensics tools. The Defense Department’s Cyber Crime Center evaluates hardware and software to determine whether the technology will meet DOD’s forensics needs. DC3 publishes an online catalog available to federal agencies and law enforcement organizations."
