    Process
    
    Process is the glue that binds the procedures and the technology in a legal
    sense.  Develop a process. Match procedures to that process.  Match the
    current technologies to the procedures.  Develop methods to layer in new
    technologies as they appear.
    
    Technologies are changing at a very fast pace, and it will only get faster.
    We need to ensure the forensics process will provide a legally binding link
    between the procedures and the technologies that will withstand legal
    scrutiny. Part of this process will be a procedure for explaining complex
    technical issues in layman's terms to juries and/or judges with little
    technical knowledge.

    Very true, that plus the technology changes so fast.  We fought that problem
    for two years when we were writing our computer forensics book.  You don't
    want it to be outdated before it hits the shelves.

    This is because Computer Forensics depends so much on methodology and
    procedures. Both are critical for a successful
    Forensic process. I will be taking this into consideration when creating
    the survey I talked about, let's see what the rest of the community
    thinks about it.
