Digital evidences cannot be trusted in Cyber crimes
Dr. Herald Dcosta
Director- Intelligent Quotient Security
“As far as the cybercrimes are concerned, the digital evidence is brought either by the complainant or by the accused. But the digital evidence can create a lot of problem as end-to-end encryption can be questionable. From the digital evidence point of view, the problem that arises is whom to believe and whom not to. When you talk about WhatsApp, messages can be altered, modified, deleted and then we do not have any type of a server where we can get this information from. So when you ask for information from WhatsApp to enquire about the genuineness of the chats, it being a virtual server by nature shall reply saying that they cannot provide you the information and act just like a post office. Therefore, no data is retained at our end and it becomes a very questionable task as how to get these messages authenticated.”
