Key topics
Practical challenges of online investigations
Common problems that judges and prosecutors have to deal with in internet investigations
Overview of good practices in various EU Member States
Afternoon workshops and demos will focus on the following topics: encrypted data, search and seizure in an online environment, preservation of stored computer data.
