Forensic Capture of Web Pages During Browsing

FAW Sign is an API suite for the forensic acquisition of interactions that users generate while browsing web pages.

An interaction is defined as a process where two or more objects (agents, systems, or users) act in relation to each other. In this specific case, interactions are the actions performed by a user visiting and navigating a website. Examples include pressing a button, checking a checkbox, scrolling text contained within a frame or a text box. In many cases, these interactions must be acquired at a forensic level to certify the user’s intent regarding the actions being performed (such as the subscription to a point-and-click contract, the acceptance of clauses, or the approval of data processing).

FAW Sign allows for the acquisition of all types of web page interactions according to Digital Forensic best practices and in compliance with the ISO/IEC 27037:2012 standard. This guarantees the traceability of the user’s navigation and the activity carried out within the individual web pages.

FAW Sign preserves these interactions in four different ways: through saving to FAW servers, by means of a timestamp, through substitute preservation (or legal digital retention), and via Blockchain technology.

The client who integrates FAW Sign into their website can therefore benefit from legally valid documentation to prove in court the interactions—and thus the intent—of the user who utilized or purchased a product/service on the client’s website.
