evidence in judicial proceedings with the document on paper substrate, are becoming
electronic evidence, and their management processes and criteria for admissibility are
changing over traditional evidence. The rapid growth of computer data created new
opportunities and the growth of new forms of computing, and cyber crime, but also

information society and the emergence of electronic evidence, with emphasis on the
impact of the development of computer crime on electronic evidence; the concept,
legal regulation and probative value of electronic evidence, and in particular of
electronic documents; and the issue of electronic evidence expertise and electronic
