DIGITAL FORENSICS: THE USE OF POLYGRAPHS IN PROVING TRUTH IN AUDIT CASES

Muhamad Irfan Florid*, Prima Eka Candra, Pupung Purnamasari

Abstract

This article has five main objectives: 1) Polygraph Validity, 2) Ethical Use of Polygraph, 3) Legal Considerations, 4) Data Security, and 5) Polygraph Comparison with other methods, including Limitations. There is still a lack of understanding and studies related to using polygraphs in proving the truth in audit cases, such as in the case of the murder of fellow police officers, allegedly masterminded by their leaders. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method. This study analyzed the literature review by collecting articles related to the keywords: Digital Forensics, Polygraph, and Proof of Audit Obfuscation. Articles were searched from Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, Emerald, and Google Scholar. Research results show that polygraph validity is still much debated because it is not always reliable and can be influenced by factors like subject anxiety, examiner expertise, and the subject's ability to control physiological responses. Ethical and legal considerations, including laws in Indonesia, and data security must ensure confidentiality. The use of polygraphs in digital forensic audits raises potential to increase the validity and reliability of digital evidence. Despite this potential, challenges such as ethical aspects, data security, and polygraph technology limitations must be considered.

Keywords: Digital Forensics; Polygraph; Law
