PDA Forensics

RootSecure has a pointer to
NIST's draft version of their "Guidelines on PDA
Forensics
".

These documents are important, but maybe not for
the reason that you think. The information is available elsewhere,
maybe even in a single document. What makes it important that NIST
publish it is that it becomes a federal standard.

The reason that this
is considered "good" is that it makes legal proceedings that much easier
(shorter) because you, as a forensic type talking to judge/jury/other
lawyers, don't have to prove the legitimacy of your investigative
process each and every time you're in court. The short phrase to
describe it: a protocol.
