Joint Test Action Group and In-System Programming Techniques for Forensic Procedures

Exploring the Forensic Applications of JTAG and ISP Techniques

Abstract

This paper focuses on physical acquisition strategies for the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) and In-System Programming (ISP). These methods were developed by producers to monitor PCBs and fix products but are used as a forensic tool to gather data from a computer. The aim is to provide a forensic analysis of these methods, and in addition to some other studies it will attempt to show that they are forensically similar to some other process.
