Abstract:
A method to analyze anonymous emails in digital forensics is presented in this paper. The frequent patterngrowth algorithm is used in the proposed method to analyze an email and obtain the structural email writing pattern of the user. The influence of a user's writing structural pattern on the analysis of an anonymous email varies. The analytic hierarchy process is used to calculate the weight of a user's different writing structural patterns. For a given anonymous email, matching the writing structural pattern and weight calculation can help investigators improve their decision making and determine the author of an anonymous email in forensic work.
