  • computer forensics : (also called cyberforensics) the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques to gather evidence suitable for presentation in a court of law
  • forensic animation : the use of full-motion computer graphics to recreate an event such as an automobile accident, the collapse of a building, an assault, or the workings of a mechanical device from a variety of perspectives
  • forensic watermark : (also called a digital watermark) a sequence of characters or code embedded in a digital document, image, video or computer program to uniquely identify its originator and authorized user.
