Abstract

The usage of digital technology in the digital forensic investigation has grown in tandem with the rising importance of technology today. Too many incidences of digital and physical crime which is the focus of the world nowadays. To gather the finest evidence and investigative outcomes, a digital forensic model must be established. This study included a review of the literature on digital forensics and models established in digital forensics. According to the findings, the majority of research involves broad inquiries and procedures that overlap. Furthermore, no model has been developed to design a systemic inquiry. In this study, we propose a methodology for digital forensic examination to address this issue. This model combines several of the previous models and adds some new variables that are relevant to the study.
