Virtualization of expert-forensic activity began about two decades ago and continues to this day in the form of the use of advanced digital technologies. It is important to take into account that errors in expert studies, especially identification ones, during which the identity of a forensically significant object is established, are unacceptable, and therefore the leading role in the digital processing of forensically significant information is assigned to the compliance of the technological solution with the basic provisions of the theory of forensic identification. It should be noted that the examinations differ from each other not only in the objects of study, but also in the degree and nature of the transfer of identification features. Thus, using the example of identification forensic ballistic examination, it is necessary to take into account the absence of an optimal identification set of features in one identification field, which, of course, partly complicates the transfer of the identification study process to an electronic format and is, in turn, a significant obstacle to the technical and forensic improvement of currently used automated ballistic identification systems. The question arises as to how possible the digital processing of forensically significant information is within the framework of forensic ballistic examination, taking into account the basic provisions of the theory of forensic identification.
