Consumer Electronics and the IOT: Digital Evidence

Our world is becoming increasingly hyper-connected. The objective of the Internet of things is for everything to communicate and interface with everything. From wearable technology and smart home assistants, to Internet connected medical ingestibles and social credit scores, more data is being collected about us than ever, and this data can and is being used in litigation. Criminal and civil attorneys alike increasingly rely on this type of data as evidence in litigation. This course will explain to attorneys how this data is collected, and the places that such data is stored. Cases involving Internet of things devices such as digital pacemakers, fitness wearables, and smart home assistants will be discussed, with an eye to the future of how this data will become more prevalent and pervasive.
