Abstract:

Computer forensics is the science of obtaining, preserving, and documenting evidence from computers, mobile devices as well as other digital electronic storage devices. All must be done in a manner designed to preserve the probative value of the evidence and to assure its admissibility in a legal proceeding. However, computer forensics is continually evolving as existing technologies progress and new technologies are introduced. For example, digital investigators are required to investigate content on mobile device or data stored at the cloud servers. With the popularity of computers in everyday life as well as the acceleration of cybercrime rates in recent years, computer forensics is becoming an essential element of modern IT security. This paper will cover the development of computer forensics in law enforcement and discuss the development in the latest live forensics skillsets. A number of interested areas of computer forensics will be also highlighted to explain how it can support IT security and civil/criminal investigation.

Key words:  computer forensics  cybercrime  digital evidence
