Mobile Forensics is now days, increasingly becoming more challenging as it is the field of science that is continuously evolving with respect to the rapidly developing technologies and techniques for the extraction of the mobile data and its decoding. Majority of the crimes are getting committed digitally and especially the criminals are preferring mobile handsets than a laptop or desktop machines, leaving the footprints behind which could be evidence against them. The mobile handsets along with their software applications are getting more advanced and sophisticated mainly due to advances in Cloud computing where clouds are used to store data, Anti-forensics where efforts are made to defeat forensic procedures and Encryption which is used to secure the data during transit. But when compared with the pace of development in mobile hardware and software, the forensic tools and techniques are growing very slowly. Hence the contemporary forensic tools and methodologies are becoming increasingly obsolete and hence urges for the advanced forensic tools, methods which could comply with the need of today’s mobile forensics. Hence, this work presents a detailed survey of the contemporary challenges faced by the forensic experts with the current forensic tools and its methodologies and also the need, scope and opportunities associated with the novel and secure software framework that can address the majority of issues occurring while extraction and decoding of mobile artifacts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
