An Encapsulated Approach of Forensic Model for digital investigation

Abstract

Digital forensic investigation is the methodical restoration of evidences collected as a consequence of exploration of concrete happenings based on digital data. After analyzing all the historical approaches used in existing models, their merits and demerits are conferred and an Encapsulated Approach of Forensic (EAF) Model is proposed; which encapsulates all the phases of digital investigation. It gives a systematic, meticulous and step-by-step procedure; from identification of facts and evidences to presentation of results by the investigator in front of investigating organization.
