The Frye Standard (from Frye v. United States, 1923) established the original legal precedent for admissibility of scientific evidence in court. Under Frye, scientific evidence is admissible only if the method is 'generally accepted' by the relevant scientific community. It was later supplemented by the Daubert Standard (1993), which gave judges a gatekeeping role using a multi-factor test. SWGDE (Scientific Working Group for Digital Evidence) and SWGIT (Scientific Working Group for Imaging Technology) are guidelines organizations for digital forensics, and IOCE (International Organization on Computer Evidence) sets principles for handling digital evidence — none of these are legal admissibility standards.
