Abstract

Within the activities of the Evidence Project, it has been proposed a standard for the representation of the data and metadata involved in the electronic evidence exchange process. The main aim is to consider the widest range of forensic information and processing results including legal requirements. The standard consists of a set of data and metadata for describing all actions (i.e., tasks), actors (e.g., subjects, victims, authorities, examiners, etc.), tools (i.e., digital tools for carrying out different forensic processes), digital and physical objects involved in the investigative case (e.g., hard disk, smartphone, memory dump, etc.) and objects relationships (e.g., contains, extracted from, etc.); formal languages for representing in a standard way all the elements above cited; a platform for implementing the exchange process in terms of functionalities along with a recommendation for an integration with existing platforms already in place and run by European/international public bodies.

In the forensics community there is no a general agreement on the exact meaning of the evidence provenance, although all experts unanimously consider the great importance of the provenance in digital forensics investigation. Some experts see the provenance as chain of custody documentation (Turner, 2005a), other interpret the provenance as the “the set of tools and transformations that led from acquired raw data to the final findings” (Levine and Liberatore, 2009).

The main important system in the evidence exchange is SIENA, that stands for Secure Information Exchange Network Application. It is a secure communication system managed by EUROPOL and dedicated to the EU law enforcement community. The storage and exchange of information through SIENA is properly governed by legal framework, observing strong data protection regime. SIENA is used for exchanging personal information related to the crime areas within the mandate of EUROPOL, including EU restricted information. Basically, the SIENA application is a tool used for exchanging case relevant information (operational information).
