Description
Summary:Modern information systems, such as e-learning, e-voting, e-health, etc., are often used inappropriately for irregular data changes (data falsification). These facts force to review security measures and find a way to improve them. Proof of computer crime is accompanied by very complex processes that are based on the collection of digital evidence, forensic analysis and investigation. Forensic analysis of database systems is a very specific and complex task and therefore is the main source of inspiration for research. This article presents the fact that classical methods of collecting digital evidence are not suitable and effective. To improve efficiency, a combination of well-known, world-independent database technologies and their application in the field of forensic science are proposed. It also offers new directions for research in this area.
