The article highlights issues related to the development of the forensic sci-ence of digital traces. It proposes the definition of digital traces, in which they are considered as a set of data remaining as a result of any user activity in the digital environment, evaluates their essence from the standpoint of a dual (dualistic) nature. Based on the classical forensic doctrine of trace for-mation, the objects involved in the formation of digital traces are designated and their characteristics are given. A truncated classification of digital traces is given, their connection with digital devices is analyzed. Based on the na-ture of digital traces, the issues of their detection and fixation are considered using appropriate technical and forensic (hardware and software) tools. It is concluded that it is necessary to regulate the procedure for working with dig-ital traces (digital evidence) both at the legislative and by-law levels, as well as further understanding and development of the forensic doctrine of digital traces.
