Sebastián Potocký, Jozef Štulrajter · 2023
A mobile device is usually the carrier of its owner's sensitive data, but it also contains a lot of system data that reveals the owner's daily activities. In case of loss or theft, it is possible to analyze the mobile device through unauthorized forensic analysis and reverse engineering, and possible misuse of the obtained information may represent a security risk. The work analyzes the possibilities of solving the problem of data protection in the event that the lock screen protection of the mobile device has been broken. This work proposes an antiforensic method of running a mobile applications from a remote fully controlled environment. The result is a proposed and implemented model by the author, which prevents before creation of logs about the operation of the mobile applications and the storage of applications data on the terminal mobile device that the person carries with him. The solution was demonstrated on the default Android SMS sending application - Android Messaging.
