Abstract

AbstractReal‐world laboratory use, controlled internal tests utilizing scientific principles, and peer review should be leveraged in a proper validation test plan of digital and multimedia forensic tools and methods. As the field of digital and multimedia forensics continues to grow and evolve as a science, the importance of proper scientific validation of tools and methods, in addition to the fundamental understanding of its purpose and required elements, will be more critical than ever. As such, this primer article discusses the basic scientific foundations of forensic tool and method validations, in addition to the legal baselines for validations and how they are interpreted in the court of law. Lastly, the recommended steps of a forensically‐sound validation methodology are discussed.This article is categorized under: Digital and Multimedia Science > Mobile Forensics Digital and Multimedia Science > Multimedia Forensics Digital and Multimedia Science > Cybercrime Investigation
