Abstract
The use of disk encryption has become more prevalent in recent years. As the ability to encrypt a logical and physical volume becomes easier for end users, the role of examiners becomes more difficult when conducting digital forensics investigations. The purpose of this research is to provide an integrative framework, which mitigates the risks of data access loss when performing a digital forensic investigation. The framework will include issues of legality as well as whole disk encryption integrating previous frameworks. The framework will then be validated against several scenarios in which encryption has been used.
