Electronic discovery, also known as eDiscovery, is defined as locating information stored electronically with the intention of using it as evidence in a criminal or civil legal case. In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court amended the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) to ensure discovery includes electronic evidence.
This type of discovery entails the investigation of electronic activities, such as identifying web browsing activity and metadata, revealing the content of temporary files, obtaining data fragments, unlocking password-protected files, and determining if electronic files have been tampered. While electronic discovery is mainly used by law firms, it is also used by big corporations to straighten out disputes and non-disclosure issues. In the process itself, data of all types can be recovered to be used as evidence.
Electronic evidence includes the following:
- Word processing documents
- Databases
- Website visits
- Spreadsheets
- All other digital files, including instant messaging logs
