Abstract

In obtaining digital evidence, one has to take many different steps. Regarding this, criminal systems still have not agreed upon a unique standard, particularly in the case of digital evidences. Digital forensics, as a science concerning the processes of obtaining evidence, proposes anti-forensic methods that, if they are paid attention to, countries can make their laws more technical in terms of content. Unfortunately, digital forensics does not have a favourable situation in terms of theory and practice. In this respect, the weakness of Acts and instruments such as the Iranian criminal procedure Act and the regulations regarding collecting electronic evidence is apparent. This essay has examined the challenges in digital forensics with a descriptive approach and seeks to approximate them by applying the rules of Iran and English criminal systems.
