Abstract
This paper updates previous work on the level of consensus in foundational elements of digital evidence examination. Significant consensus is found present only after definitions are made explicit, suggesting that, while there is a scientific agreement around some of the basic notions identified, the use of a common language is lacking.
Keywords: Digital forensics examination, terminology, scientific methodology, testability, validation, classification, scientific consensus
