Abstract
This article aims to introduce e-evidence, describe its characteristics, examine its legal authenticity in Egyptian law, shed light on the requirements for the collection of e-evidence and its admissibility before the criminal judiciary, and highlight how e-evidence is criminally protected in Egyptian law along with the procedures for gathering and documenting it.
The pervasive usage of technology in all spheres of life may be traced back to the significance of the research topic. We have come to the logical conclusion that it is improbable that a traditional or new crime would occur without leaving behind E-evidence that may be used to identify the offender thanks to the proliferation of electrical and technological equipment and the Internet.
The research concluded that the effect of the changing nature of intangible forensic evidence on its reliability before the criminal courts, in a way that requires a precise legal regulation of this issue. The legislator defines a set of conditions for the procedures for collecting and documenting E-evidence to achieve the idea of its reliability and then produces its impact on the formation of the criminal judge's doctrine.
It is recommended strengthening cooperation with international organizations to exchange information related to E-evidence.
