Digital Forensics and the Chain of Custody to Counter Cybercrime
Abstract
Targeting information technology resources has marked a growing trend for all sorts of reasons that include, profit making, causing damage, carrying out espionage, exploiting human beings etc. Although information security is used to protect information assets, electronic crime remains firmly on the rise. Computer forensics is the analysis of data processing equipment such as a data carrier, a network etc. to determine whether that equipment has been used for illegal or unauthorised purposes. Establishing the chain of custody through appropriate policy frameworks can be used in order to assess the quality of the collected data. Policy for forensics may address the practices of forensics agents and labs in investigating cybercrime. This chapter concludes that full-scale harmonisation of policies on criminal law and legal processes is likely to only happen at regional level (e.g. the EU) rather than at a global scale. Along with the assumption that safe havens where criminals operate from are not likely to be suppressed any time soon, leads to the conclusion that cyber-crime is here to stay for the long run in spite of the good efforts made to trail digital suspects through digital forensics.
