IntroductionIn our last column we discussed the basics of computer forensics, trying to describe a basis for validating evidence captured using well-documented and accepted methods and tools. This is still a very new discipline and precedents are few and perhaps there will be many yet to come before findings based on it are accepted as readily as fingerprint evidence is today. Nevertheless, I believe that electronic forensic evidence gathering will become a commonly used investigative technique of ever increasing importance.This column is devoted to the process of seizure. On the surface it may seem not all that complex, however, every circumstance is different and therefore so too may be the complexities of any given seizure.
