Abstract
The article analyzes the concept of «digital information» and «electronic evidence», it is concluded that information is not electronic, because, essentially represented in digital form rather than in electronic. This conclusion is based on the results of the analysis of questions of coding and decoding of information transmitted in digital form. The author comes to the conclusion that the use of the term «electronic evidence» is incorrect, because the information contained in such evidence are presented in digital form, and therefore, we are talking about evidence containing digital information. A definition of evidence containing digital information, where it is stated that such evidence should be encapsulated in material form (e.g., printed (photocopy printed or other device), and attached to the case) is proposed. Articles of the criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation, regulating the subject of proof, evidence, and other documents are analyzed.
