Abstract

Traditional forensic disciplines get increasingly digitized. This allows for new investigations and often provides more details for each trace. Due to this digitalization, digital and digitized forensic disciplines have very similar courses of action and requirements. Therefore, we introduce a generic process model, which can be easily adapted for different purposes. Here, we show an exemplary study for the digital dactyloscopy as part of digitized forensics. The digitalization effort can potentially allow for different investigations of the very same trace, is possible because the original trace is acquired non-destructively.
