Abstract
Electronic Evidence has become a central cornerstone of correspondence, delivery, and reporting as a result of the tremendous increase of e-governance in the public and private sectors, as well as e-commerce operations. Government bodies are opening up to electronic filings to enact different governance measures, and annual filings to oversee and monitor businesses are also performed electronically. Electronic Evidence/Digital Evidence in different formats is constantly being used in court trials. At this point in the proceedings, Judges are often called to comment on the admissibility of electronic proof, which has a significant effect on the result of civil cases or the prosecution or acquittal of criminal defendants. The Court continues to wrestle with this emerging technological frontier, as the peculiar existence of e-data, as well as the simplicity with which it may be distorted or falsified, poses a barrier to admissibility that is not present in other types of evidence. The numerous types of electronic information, such as CDs, DVDs, hard disk/memory card data, website data, social network correspondence, e-mail, instant messenger messages, SMS/MMS, and computer generated records, all pose particular problems and challenges for proper security and are subject to a variety of different standards.
