Digital Forensics is not just the recovery of data or information from computer systems and their networks. It is not a procedure that can be accomplished by software alone, and most important, it is not something that can be accomplished by other than a trained IT forensic professional. Digital Forensics is an emerging science and was developed by U.S. federal law enforcement agency during the mid to late 1980s. It is also the art of detecting, processing, and examining digital fingerprints. [For complete proceedings, see ED490133.]
