As a result of these efforts, the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD) approved digital evidence as part of its accreditation process for crime laboratories in 2003. [9] Today, the discipline is referred to as Digital and Multimedia Evidence and comprises the sub-disciplines of computer forensics, audio, video and imaging. [10]
In 2002, an article in the International Journal of Digital Evidence referred to this step as "an in-depth systematic search of evidence related to the suspected crime." [ 1 ] In 2006, forensics researcher Brian Carrier described an "intuitive procedure" in which obvious evidence is first identified and then "exhaustive searches are conducted ...
The stages of the digital forensics process require different specialist training and knowledge. There are two basic levels of personnel: [3] Digital forensic technician Technicians gather or process evidence at crime scenes. These technicians are trained on the correct handling of technology (for example how to preserve the evidence).
Computer forensics (also known as computer forensic science) [1] is a branch of digital forensic science pertaining to evidence found in computers and digital storage media. The goal of computer forensics is to examine digital media in a forensically sound manner with the aim of identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing, and presenting ...
Electronic evidence consists of these two sub-forms: analog (no longer so prevalent, but still existent in some sound recordings e.g), and; digital evidence (see longer article) This rather complex relationship can be depicted graphically as shown in this part of an EU-funded project on the topic embedded here at the right.
In evidence law, digital evidence or electronic evidence is any probative information stored or transmitted in digital form that a party to a court case may use at trial. [1] Before accepting digital evidence a court will determine if the evidence is relevant, whether it is authentic, if it is hearsay and whether a copy is acceptable or the ...
IoT Forensics or IoT Forensic Science, a branch of digital forensics, that deals with the use of any digital forensics processes and procedures relating to the recovery of digital evidence which originates from one or more IoT devices for the purpose of preservation, identification, extraction or documentation of digital evidence with the intention of reconstructing IoT-related events.

A number of different people may be involved in an electronic discovery project: lawyers for both parties, forensic specialists, IT managers, and records managers, amongst others. Forensic examination often uses specialized terminology (for example, "image" refers to the acquisition of digital media), which can lead to confusion. [1]
