Abstract

In order for technical research in digital forensics to progress a cohesive set of electronic forensics characteristics must be specified. To date, although the need for such a framework has been expressed, with a few exceptions, clear unifying characteristics have not been well laid out. We begin the process of formulating a framework for digital forensics research by identifying fundamental properties and abstractions.
