Abstract
Forensics, of course, is the use of science to investigate and establish facts in a criminal or civil court. Physical evidence (e.g., tire tracks and bullets) and medical evidence (e.g., blood and DNA) are well accepted in courts as well as the hearts and minds of the law enforcement community and the public. Less well known — and much less well understood — is the role of computer forensics and digital investigations.
