I have a lawyer office as one of my customers, and they forwarded me 10 scanned JPG's documents that are part of an appeal. &nbsp;They want to know when the scans were orginally created by the opposing attorney's office as they think there is a discrepancy. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Obviously on my computers and theirs the created date is whenever the scans were saved from the email to the hard drive and the same at my customers. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there any hidden meta data in a scanned image? I checked the files with an exif viewer and it didn't come back with anything. &nbsp;Hoping someone with a bit more expertise in this area could either tell me theres nothing I can do or point me in the right direction.

Digital forensics encompasses the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. Digital forensics investigations have a variety of applications. The most common is to support or refute a hypothesis before criminal or civil (as part of the electronic discovery process) courts.
