Digital Forensics is a branch of forensic science that encompases the recovery and investigation of details found in digital devices. Digital Evidence is information found among a variety of electronic devices like CD, pen drive, hard disk or even mobile phones that is useful in legal systems. The use of digital evidences in criminal and civil investigations is taking a major role in recent years. These evidences are equivalent to fingerprints, DNA pattern or iris pattern that is unique for any person. There is still some limitation, where the digital evidence may be misleading. Anyhow, at the end it is the court to decide whether the digital forensic evidence of that investigation is reliable or not. Also with the increasing prevalence of mobile phones, forensic evidences collected from mobile devices are becoming an invaluable source of evidence. This paper shows digital forensics in a different perspective, and analyses the existing methods of digital forensics. The results are checked with all the existing methods and appropriate matching for specific type of forensic evidence like PAN number, Voter ID, AAthar card, etc.with a forensic method.
