Every day, individuals
and businesses come into contact to
fulfil their social and business needs -
from using the mobile phone, buying and
selling goods and services ,checking
emails, surfing the internet using the
cash ATM and working in the corporate
environment. One common
denominator in this interaction is the
medium of communication - Computers and
digital devices. It is true,
that we are now firmly entrenched in the
digital age. Social and business
interaction is now largely implemented
via digital channels.
Evidence of the who, what, where and how
of these activities could be located in
one or other diverse computers.
The use of Computers - laptop, Desktop,
Mobile Phones, Digital recorders,
emails, internet etc.
now form a new and
veritable source of evidence of
communication and interaction.
Consequently, computer evidence becomes
relevant, to prove the existence or
otherwise of a disputed set of facts.
However, there are complex ground rules to be
adhered to in extracting, analysing and
presenting computer evidence. This often
requires the input of an expert.
The dilemma however, is that the
attorney, lacking computer forensic
skills, needs to understand the nature
of digital evidence and how it applies
to his or her case.
Digital
evidence is very often not
apparent on the surface.
It requires specialist skills to
extract, preserve and analyse
and at each of these stages, evidence
authenticity and admissibility is called
into question.
