Title: Forensic Analysis of Digital Photos
This class addresses the needs for forensic analysis of digital photos, such as to de-authenticate a photo; the
types of photos that one might need to examine, such as crime scene photos or scientifi c research and alternative
sources of digital photos. The class includes an introduction to using various tools and techniques
to examine digital photos, such as Access Data’s Forensic Took Kit (FTK), Adobe Photoshop and newly developed
specialized digital photo analysis software. This presentation will cover the use of fuzzy hashing in
FTK to determine if two photo fi les are identical, use of basic observation techniques and specifi c processes
or actions in Adobe Photoshop to analyze photos for manipulation and the use of the newly developed
software that uses signature analysis to determine if a .jpeg is an untouched, original from a digital camera.
Photoshop actions will be made available for download and a vendor discount will be provided for one of
the software tools.

Title: How to Get a Grant for Your Organization
Utilizing grants and federal contracts to grow your business is a great way to leverage public funding opportunities.
However, the several thousand grant and federal contracting programs can be confusing and
overwhelming. Keith Gray, President of Gray Matter Consulting, has 20 years’ experience in working with
federal contractors and grants for small businesses and municipalities. Many ask the following:
How do I apply for a grant?
How do I fi nd a grant or federal contract for my business?
Am I eligible for grants or loans or federal contracts?
What is a NAICS code?
How do I know my idea will be funded?
These are some of the questions that will be answered during the informative session.

Title: Exploiting Mobile Devices for Profi t (iOS and Android)
This lecture/demonstration will take an in depth look at specifi c Android and iOS exploits, the damage they
have caused and the fi nancial gain that has resulted. During Q1 2012, over 7,000 new malware threats have
been identifi ed for Android OS alone. These threats exploit vulnerabilities inherent to the operating systems
of these mobile platforms. We will also discuss preemptive measures that can be used to identify quarantine
and mitigate such threats now and in the future. Finally, we will take a close look at what Google, Apple
and the development community at large is actively pursuing to reduce and mitigate these threats.
