1. FORZA – Digital Forensics Investigation Framework that Incorporate Legal Issues
Eric Ly
Basically this is about people who practice DF and only follow the technical procedures, but forget the actual purpose and core concept of DF investigations. With these technical details, it is hard for legal practitioners to understand. To break this barrier, a technical-independent framework is required.

2. Digital Forensics? What is it?
- It is a process, not an elephant, and it is not just one single process, but a group of tasks and processes in an investigation.

3. Fundamental Principles
-IT Security
- Confidentiality
- Integrity
- Availability
-Digital Forensic
- Reconnaissance
- Reliability
- Relevancy

4. RRR
Reconnaissance - Collect, recover, decode, discover, extract, analyze and convert data that is kept on different storage media to readable evidence.
Reliability - If the integrity of the evidence and the person relationship with the evidence is accepted as digital forensics, then it can be reliable in court.
Relevancy - Even if evidence is admissible, relevancy of the evidence with the case affects the weight and usefulness of the evidence. Use a legal practitioner to advise what should be collected, to reduce time and cost in investigation.
