Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE)
The Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE) was established in February 1998 through a collaborative effort of the Federal Crime Laboratory Directors. SWGDE, as the U.S.-based component of standardization efforts conducted by the International Organization on Computer Evidence (IOCE), was charged with the development of cross-disciplinary guidelines and standards for the recovery, preservation, and examination of digital evidence, including audio, imaging, and electronic devices.
International Organization on Computer Evidence (IOCE)
The International Organization on Computer Evidence (IOCE) was established in 1995 to provide international law enforcement agencies a forum for the exchange of information concerning computer crime investigation and other computer-related forensic issues. Comprised of accredited government agencies involved in computer forensic investigations, IOCE identifies and discusses issues of interest to its constituents, facilitates the international dissemination of information, and develops recommendations for consideration by its member agencies. In addition to formulating computer evidence standards, IOCE develops communications services between member agencies and holds conferences geared toward the establishment of working relationships.
Docs and laws
Scientific evidence standards:
- Relevancy test (FRE 401, 402, 403) - this is embodied in the Federal Rules of Evidence and some state versions which liberally allow anything that materially assists the trier of fact to be deemed relevant by the trier of law.
- Frye standard (Frye v. U.S. 1923) - for the results of a scientific technique to be admissible, the technique must be sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in its particular field. This is a "general acceptance" test.
- Coppolino standard (Coppolino v. State 1968) - the court allows a novel test or piece of new, sometimes controversial, science on a particular problem at hand if an adequate foundation can be laid even if the profession as a whole isn't familiar with it.
- Marx standard (People v. Marx 1975) - the court is satisfied that it did not have to sacrifice its common sense in understanding and evaluating the scientific expertise put before it. This is a "common sense" or "no scientific jargon" test.
- Daubert standard (Daubert v. Merrell Dow (1993) - this rigorous test requires special pretrial hearings for scientific evidence and special procedures on discovery where the rules are laid out beforehand on validity, reliability, benchmarking, algorithms, and error rates.
