Abstract:This paper discusses the lack of reliability and reproducibility validation in digital forensics for a criminal trial. It is argued that this challenge can be addressed with standard data-representation for digital evidence. The representation must include reproducibility documentation on processing operations including automation, human interaction, and investigation steps. Analyzed are two blueprint articlesthe CASE specification language for cyber-investigations [1] and the WANDA data standard for the docum… Show more
“…The lack of legal reliability standard in combination with data volumes and complexity, 57 lack of resources and formal validation procedures are often used as an argument for not implementing quality standards. 58 Reliability validation crisis in digital forensics was discussed by scholars 59 and governmental bodies worldwide. 60 Several legal scholars called for DF expert accreditation 61 and discussed the absence of clear legal rules for evidence reliability assessment as a disadvantage for suspects and defendants.…”
