Standard for the Electronic Evidence Exchange

One of the main aims of the Evidence project consisted in defining functional specifications for the exchanging of digital evidence. This has been accomplished identifying the main meta data involved in the exchange process on the basis of the following activities: - identifying and proposing a standard for the representation of data and metadata involved in the digital evidence exchange process; - addressing issues related to provenance; - highlighting the lack of standards for the representation of the forensics tools results; - proposing an integration/extension toward existing platforms already in place (Siena led by EUROPOL, e-Testa led by EUROJUST, I-24/7 led by INTERPOL, etc.) for digital evidence exchanging within EU Member States.
