DIGITAL FORENSICS: Digital Evidence in Judicial System

Abstract:

Digital evidence must be collected with a reasonable and least intrusive means. The manner of collection depends upon the system configuration encountered, type of investigation at hand, and the most pertinent evidence being sought to support the investigation. Nearly every choice a forensic examiner makes, or doesn’t make, during the collection process affects data to a certain extent. The examiner needs to be aware of the specific electronic data required for the investigation and be prepared to address obstacles that inevitably arise in nearly every digital evidence collection scenario. 

When bringing an offence committed involving a digital device such as a computer before the criminal court system, a strategy must be drawn up by the prosecution  to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of the crime.
This strategy is heavily dependent on the findings of the forensic examiner or   Digital Forensic Investigator who has the immense responsibility of examining the exhibits for signs of evidence.

This paper gives an overview of Digital evidence, Challenges relating to Digital Evidence in details, Major categories of evidence in legal system, Admissibility of Digital Evidence under judicial System and how is evidence presented in courtroom.

Introduction Big Data forensics is a new type of forensics, just as Big Data is a new way of solving the challenges presented by large, complex data. Thanks to the growth in data and the increased value of storing more data and analyzing it fast—Big Data solutions have become more common and more prominently positioned within organizations. As such, the value of Big Data systems has grown, often storing data used to drive organizational strategy, identify sales, and many different modes of electronic communication. The forensic value of such data is obvious: if the data is useful to an organization, then the data is valuable to an investigation of that organization. The information in a Big Data system is not only inherently valuable, but the data is most likely organized and analyzed in such a way to identify how the organization treated the data. Big Data forensics is the forensic collection and analysis of Big Data systems. Traditional computer forensics typically foc...

CYBER SECURITY:   Improving Cyber Defense Through Coherent Joint Red Team and Blue Team by David Mugisha,  Student of  Ms.Digital Forensics and Information Security (Gujarat Forensic Sciences University) Abstract Over the years, the investments in security moved from nice to have to must have, and now organizations around the globe are realizing how important it is to continually invest in security. This investment will ensure that the company stays competitive in the market. Failure to properly secure their assets could lead to irreparable damage, and in some circumstances could lead to bankruptcy.

Digital Forensics: Investigation VS Security  by David Mugisha,  Student of  Ms.Digital Forensics and Information Security (Gujarat Forensic Sciences University) Abstract : The past decade has seen previously unimagined advances in technology, and although those developments have benefited individuals and businesses alike, they have also become tools for fraudsters and cyber criminals to steal money and data, and avoid detection. Hackers use technology to hide their illicit activities and to move funds across jurisdictions and around the globe. Their operations are complex and they have significant resources to help them evade detection. This means that those tasked with investigating cyber criminal activity have had to keep pace. We are seeing a new breed of investigators, the digital forensic practitioner, Cyber Security professionals who traces these criminals and their activities. As with other types of evidence, the courts make no presumption tha...
