Federal Guidance on this (Score 1)

The Federal Government itself has been quite concerned about how to create reliable evidence for court for computer crimes and other incidents. One place to look is the guidance on implementation on the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA). The Department of Justice wanted to make sure that evidence would be preserved as the federal government is required to shift from paper to IT for most functions. To see information on GPEA, finger http://cio.gov/egov/projects/gpea/gpea_index.htm. Within the Office of Management and Budget, GPEA guidance comes from Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the Information Policy and Technology Branch. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/inforeg/index.html.
