Consequently this paper studies the common factors and elements in the computer crime case with focus on best evidence rule and suitable road map process of Digital Forensic Investigation Framework (DFIF) to maintain a close cooperation between parties through effective use of legal concepts and technology.
The paper discusses the main challenges and basics needed to be handled, and observed closely to grasp a successful prosecution of a cybercriminal.
