Abstract

Privacy issues have always been a major concern in
computer forensics and security and in case of any
investigation whether it is pertaining to computer or
not always privacy issues appear. To enable
privacy’s protection in the physical world we need
the law that should be legislated, but in a digital
world by rapidly growing of technology and using
the digital devices more and more that generate a
huge amount of private data it is impossible to
provide fully protected space in cyber world
during the transfer, store and collect data. Since its
introduction to the field, forensics investigators,
and developers have faced challenges in finding the
balance between retrieving key evidences and
infringing user privacy. This paper looks into
developmental trends in computer forensics and
security in various aspects in achieving such a
balance. In addition, the paper analyses each
scenario to determine the trend of solutions in these
aspects and evaluate their effectiveness in resolving
the aforementioned issues.
