Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science practiced in the prosecution of crimes which involve digital devices. The digital forensic investigative process involves the collection, preservation, and analysis of electronic data. The goal of analysis is to draw conclusions from the evidence. Currently, the analysis phase is largely reliant on the knowledge of each individual examiner and their own specific examination process. I talk about the addition of digital forensics to the computer science research community and the potential of the this merger on society.
