Chung-Huang Yang, Yen-Ting Lai · 2012
As popularity of the smart phones continues to grow, it changes the way of cyber crime. Number of cyber crime increases dramatically in recent years and investigators have been facing the difficulty of admissibility of digital evidence on smart phones. To solve this problem, we must collect evidence by digital forensics techniques and analyze the digital data, or recover the damaged data in the phones. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation results of forensics software for Android smart phones. Our design is based on guidelines from the National Institute of Standards and Technology for cell phone forensics to ensure the effectiveness of digital evidence and credibility of the evidence on judicial review. In order to minimize the alteration of original evidence source in mobile phones, cloud computing platform is used to flexibly select proper forensic software and store the forensic results.
