Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 157

Which of the following standard represents a legal precedent regarding the admissibility of scientific examinations or experiments in legal cases?

Answer options

• A. SWGDE & SWGIT
• B. Daubert
• C. Frye
• D. IOCE

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Frye standard establishes the principle that scientific evidence must be widely accepted within the relevant scientific community to be admissible in court. The Daubert standard, while also related to admissibility, focuses on the reliability and relevance of the evidence rather than general acceptance. SWGDE & SWGIT and IOCE are guidelines and standards for forensic practices but do not specifically address legal precedents for admissibility.
