정보통신 기술이 급속도로 발전함에 따라 전자 적 정보1)의 개념에 대한 인식이 변화되고 있다. 최 근 가상공간2)에서 스마트폰이나 각종 IT기기를 이 용하여 언제, 어디서든지 전자적 정보를 수집할 수 있고, 또한 이를 디지털화하여 새로운 정보서비스 제공을 통해 사회적 간접비용을 감소시킬 수 있게 되었다. 다만, 전자적 정보를 법률적으로 어떻게 활 용할지에 대하여 우리 일상생활이 가상공간으로 전 이됨에 따라 법률행위 및 분쟁을 해결하는 데 있어 전자적 정보를 기초로 하여 판단하자는 의견과,3) 전자적 정보는 쉽게 변색되고, 누구나 복제 및 수정이 가능하고 지속적으로 재생산이 가능하기 때문 에 전자적 정보가 법원에서 증거로서 채택되었을 때 다양한 문제가 제기될 것으로 보인다는 의견이 대립되고 있다. 4) 최근 전통적 증거범위를 넘는 개인 컴퓨터나 기업의 컴퓨터 서버 그리고 각종 저장 장치 안에 저장되어있는 전자적 정보는 사람의 시각으로 식별할 수 없고, 종이 문서보다 훨씬 양이 많다. 이러한 전자적 정보는 전문가나 특별한 기술 의 도움 없이 법원에서 판단하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 미국의 경우 전자적 정보를 분석을 위해 기업으로 하여금 분석하여 법원에 제출토록 하고 있다. 그러나 전자적 정보에 대한 신뢰성, 무결성 등의 문제는 지속적으로 제기고 되고 있어, 이를 법원에서 어떠한 편견 없이 판단에 이를 수 있는 방법 중 하나는 고성능 컴퓨터를 이용하여 대용량 전자적 정보를 분석하여 법원에 제출토록 하는 것이다. 이에 본고는 고성능 컴퓨터를 활용한 전자 증거 분석 방법을 논하고, 관련 법리적 쟁점을 도출함과 동시에 민사소송상에서 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

DESIGNIN AND OPERATION OF DIGITAL EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM APPLYING COMPUTER FORENSICS AND ELECTRONIC CERTIFICATION Digital evidence will be used as a term, which means the electronic form of information which is necessary to confirm or prove the factum of all kinds of behaviors committed through the devices which have data processing ability including computer. It is expected that there will be the increase of legal conflicts surrounding electronic commerce activities as well as the increase of cyber crimes, as the number of Internet users are getting bigger. In order to solve the problems of conflicts derived from electronic commerce, the factum of electronic commerce activities must be confirmed. In order to confirm the factum of electronic commerce activities, the evidence is prerequisite. Almost all evidences relating to the electronic commerce activities exist in digital form. For the reason that the digital evidence can be easily damaged and changed, special management is required to collect, analyze, and preserve the digital evidence. In order to meet this requirement, this study proposes a basic model of digital evidence management system applying computer forensics and electronic authentication.

So-called Wang-jaesan decision (2013do2511) was declared by ‘Korean Supreme Court’ (hereafter ‘KSC’) in July, 2013. The decision had a lot of important substantial and procedural issues in criminal spheres. However, what I have tried to concentrate in this review are only two issues, the one is the issue of the authenticity of electronic evidence (or digital evidence), the other is the issue of the application of ‘the Korean version hearsay rule’ (hereafter ‘KHR’) of the electronic evidence. The methodology of this review is the comparative analysis of the Wang-jaesan decision from the perspective of Federal Rules of Evidence (hereafter ‘FRE’). In Wang-jaesan decision KSC defined the concept of integrity of electronic evidence as ‘the contents of the digital data have not been altered in any manner from the moment that were seized’ or ‘that evidence wasn’t changed after it was captured or collected.’ The meaning of this concept is different from the meaning of the traditional ‘exactness of utterances’(成立의 眞正) of article 312, 312 of KHR. That concept was made from the unique Korean modern legal history. However, it cannot deal with so many hard cases properly. Therefore I suggest in chapter Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ that We Korean legal scholars and practitioners should adopt the concept of authentication something like FRE, even though Korean Criminal Procedure Law does not have clear stipulations about it. In chapter Ⅴ, Ⅵ I did comparing analyses about the applications of KHR by KSC since 1990’s up to the 2010’s. I found that KSC has adopted enormously FRE when there were no clear stipulations in Korean Criminal Procedure Law. This is a kind of interesting phenomenon which deserves to be analyzed from the perspective of comparative law and global legal transplant of evidence rule.

Artikel 12 GG garantiert Menschenrecht und Grundrechte. StPO regelt aufgrund von GG das Prozess über Durchsuchung und Beschlagnahme und den Schutz der Rechte des Einzelnen im Strafverfahren. Aus den Bestimmungen von StPO und der Gerichtsentscheidung wurde einige Problemen erscheint, die im Prozess von Durchsuchung und Beschlagnahme über die elektronische Beweis auftaucht wurde. Der erste ist, was die Gegestand zur Durchsuchung und Beschlagnahme über die Elektronische Beweis ist. Ist es Datenspeichermedien, insbesondere Smartphon oder elektronischen Information? Der zweite ist, was richitige Methode zur Durchsuchung und Beschlagnahme über die Elektronische Beweis ist. Ist die Durchsucung von Datenspeichermedien prinzipielle Methode oder Drucken und Replication von elektronischer Informationen prinzipielle Methode? Der dritte ist, kann die Angeklagte und ihrer Rechtsanwalt an dem Prozess der Analyse über die elektronische Information teilnehmen? Schließlich ist, muß die Beweis eine verfügbare Beweis anerkennen, die im Prozess der Analyse über die elektronische Information neu entdeckt wird? Im folgenden werde ich über diese Fragen forschen.
