Digital Discovery
Digital discovery (also referred to as electronic discovery, e-discovery, or ediscovery) is the legal process through which digital data relevant to a legal case is sought, found, protected, and reviewed for use in further legal proceedings. Digital data is any information stored on an electronic device. In most cases it is magnetically encoded. The data may be located on a single, stand-alone computer or spread across many computers that are connected together to form a network. The hard drives located inside computers are the most popular place to search for evidence as they can contain large amounts of information. However, given the proliferation of electronic devices in today’s society, various other media may hold data of interest. These include:
- Usb or flash drives
- Digital cameras
- Cell phones and blackberry style phones
- Pda’s (personal digital assistants)
- Ipods and other mp3 players
- Cd-rom disks
- Dvd disks
- Printers, copiers, and fax machines
- Answering machines
- Backup tapes or drives
- Routers, firewalls and other network devices
The evidence found on these devices can exist in many forms including:
- Emails
- Internet sites visited
- Calendars
- Address books
- Documents
- Graphical images and streaming video
- Music files
- Databases
- Logs detailing user activity
