Digital Evidence

Digital evidence, like any other evidence, must be:

  • Admissible

  • Authentic

  • Precise

  • Complete

Requirements

Legally admissible.

  • how it is obtained.

Technically irrefutable.

  • source

  • integrity

  • certification (digital signature)

Stages

The process of a forensic analysis is divided into four stages:

  1. Identify the source of the digital evidence;

  2. Preserving the evidence (involves the duplication of evidence according to technical-legal processes);

  3. Analysis and investigation of evidence;

  4. Presentation of reports and documentation of results.
