Sažetak
Life cycle and chain of digital evidence are very important parts of digital investigation process. It is very difficult to maintain and prove chain of custody. Investigators and expert witness must know all details on how the evidence was handled every step of the way. At each stage in life cycle of digital evidence, there is more impact (human, technical and natural) that can violate digital evidence. This paper presents a basic concept of “chain of custody of digital evidence” and “life cycle of digital evidence”. It will address a phase in life cycle in digital archiving. The authors also warn of certain shortcomings in terms of answering specific questions, and gives same basic definition.
