0What term is used to describe the documentation trail for control, analysis, transfer, and final disposition of evidence for digital forensic work?
Answer Options
A
Evidence log
B
Paper trail
C
Chain of custody
D
Digital footprint
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The chain of custody in forensic activities tracks who has a device, data, or other forensic artifact at any time, when transfers occur, who performed analysis, and where the item, system, or device goes when the forensic process is done. Evidence logs may be maintained by law enforcement to track evidence that is gathered. Paper trail and digital footprint are not technical terms used for digital forensics.
