Application of Digital Forensics as an Investigation System Cybercrime

Abstract

The purpose of this research is toknowing and analyzinglegal procedures for digital forensic efforts in the investigation stage of cybercrimeIn this paper, the author uses a normative juridical method with descriptive analysis as the research specification. The function of digital evidence in some cybercrime cases is indeed very complex. The use of digital evidence also often raises debate. The digital forensic testing that must be present to support this digital evidence also still lacks legal certainty. Proving using electronic evidence in special criminal cases that are specifically regulated by law as one of the valid evidence does indeed guarantee legal certainty compared to the use of electronic evidence. However, the question remains about the legality of the results of digital forensic testing presented in court as evidence. Another debate that often arises relates to the process of testing electronic evidence, the process of maintaining electronic evidence, and the often debated ability of a digital forensic expert to conduct electronic evidence testing because a series of these processes have not been regulated in more detail.
