Information Systems Audit Trails in Legal Proceedings as Evidence

摘要

Australian State and Commonwealth Governments are interested in the collection, storage and presentation of audit trail information, particularly within a legal framework. Law enforcement agencies have a legal obligation to keep audit records of all activity on information systems used within their operations. Little to no research has been identified in relation to the use of internal audit systems for evidentiary purpose. A brief history of audit trails is given with requirements for such audit trails beyond the year 2000.
