ABSTRACT Digital forensics is a crucial component of contemporary criminal investigations and legal proceedings, serving as a linchpin for the acquisition, scrutiny, and protection of electronic evidence from diverse digital devices. This abstract emphasizes the role of digital forensics in augmenting criminal inquiries and offers an insightful assessment of its integration into the legal system, recognizing modern methods and hurdles. Commencing with an introduction that underscores the importance of digital forensics, this paper highlights its benefits, including evidence preservation, fortifying public safety, national security, and the determination of culpability in criminal cases. The central aim of this paper is to uncover the techniques and challenges associated with digital forensics in criminal investigations, encompassing data acquisition for proving cybercrimes. Furthermore, the paper scrutinizes the obstacles faced by digital forensics, categorized into two key areas: technical and legal. Lastly, it explores future prospects in digital forensics in the context of criminal investigations, encompassing advancements such as enhanced data analysis, the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence, online dispute resolution (ODR), and AI-driven "robot lawyers." The utilization of artificial intelligence emerges as a significant opportunity, promising streamlined and fortified processes for digital forensics.
