NOTARIZATION AGENT AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING DIGITAL EVIDENCE USING NOTARIZATION AGENT

In a digital evidence collection method, an evidence collection device sends an evidence collection request message requesting permission of evidence collection to a notarization server through a notarization agent. The notarization server sends a collection permission message permitting evidence collection to the evidence collection device through the notarization agent. The evidence collection device requests evidence data from an evidence collection target system through the notarization agent. The evidence collection target system transmits the evidence data to the notarization agent. The notarization agent encrypts the evidence data and transfers encrypted evidence data to the evidence collection device.
