Devi Ratnasari, Yudi Prayudi, Bambang Sugiantoro . XML Approach for the Solution of Chain of Custody of Digital Evidence. International Journal of Computer Applications. 179, 23 ( Feb 2018), 20-25. DOI=10.5120/ijca2018916445
Abstract
Traditionally, the concept of recording information about physical evidence (electronic and non-electronic) in various law enforcement agencies is done using paper-based documentation. A form is generally applied to document the chronological information of the evidence during the investigation process. In the future, the traditional concept can be problematic when it applied to digital evidence. It is because the physical evidence and the digital evidence have different characteristics. This paper present the Chain of Custody application for digital evidence documentation using XML approach. XML is selected as the chain of custody information documentation storage media. In the application, there are two types of the chain of custody information, such as information entered by the user and information extracted from the attribute of digital evidence file. This application can be applied for various file types from various electronic sources. In addition, this paper also conducted a preliminary experiment using this application to know that Chain of custody information can be properly recorded and this approach does not alter the digital evidence. The output of this application is the chain of custody form in the .pdf document format.
