Digital Evidence, Chain of Custody, Computer ForensicsAbstract
This article analyzes digital evidence and the problems arising from its differences with traditional evidence. Due to the non-material character and the “congenital mutability” of digital evidence, it is argued that its epistemic validity depends on the compliance with specifics methodological standards of computer forensics, which are required to individualize the computer system that stored the digital data useful to the investigation, its collection, conservation, analysis and results presentation in Court, through digital evidence expert opinion, as well as the complete chain of custody documentation.
