Digital criminology, following the evolution of cybercrime and the digital dimension of every crime, is called upon to renegotiate criminological theories and to seek new scientific ideas for the prevention and treatment of crime in the digital environment, on the Internet and in general in connection with new technologies in the Information Society. This paper starts with as complete an approach as possible to the science of digital forensics, its principles, characteristics, delimitation, the object of its investigation, which is digital data/resources, the processes governing it, its legal framework and the role played by metadata in it.
In the following, an interpretative approach to the Internet of Things (IoT) is attempted through a brief historical review and examples, the specific characteristics of this ecosystem and the new challenges and new opportunities it brings for digital forensics.
This is followed by the necessary - in the author's opinion - analysis of the cloud phenomenon due to its dependence on the IoT, the challenges in the field of digital forensics in the cloud and the legislative efforts of cross-border access to digital evidence stored in it, at European and international level (proposed e-Evidence & Cloud Act Regulation).
The following chapters attempt to map the smart home, smart devices (including wearable devices), smart mobiles through examples, applications, specific features and challenges of digital investigation in each of them and the 'open issues' that remain in these environments.
Finally, new forensic models for the exploitation of digital evidence through 'open sources' and 'social networks' are highlighted and how these can be admissible in court while stresses the need to assimilate privacy and personal data protection when conducting forensic investigations and to raise awareness of ethical issues that reinvigorate digital investigations.
