A Review of Forensic Analysis Techniques for Android Phones
Journal Title: Journal of Independent Studies and Research - Computing - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Mobile forensics analysis is the sub-domain of digital forensics, which addresses solving the minor technology misuse cases to substantial international digital crime cases. Mobile forensic refers to the acquisition of data and analysis of the artifacts collected from the mobile devices. Mobile phones are used as a means of communication and have evolved to a mini-portable computer having the advanced communication capabilities. New threats and challenges are being faced in the domain of mobile forensics by every passing year. In this paper, we review forensic analysis techniques for android phones and perform a critical analysis of the recent trends and techniques in the field of mobile forensics. We provide a comprehensive overview to the current state-of-the-art in this area. We identify new methodologies, tools and techniques which are successfully being used for forensic investigations of the mobile phones. With the help of this analysis we identify the key challenges and knowledge gaps for potential future research work.
