A Review on Mobile Device\'s Digital Forensic Process Models

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to discuss the different comparative studies on digital forensics process models specially in the field of mobile devices. In order to legally pursue digital criminals, investigation should be conducted in a forensically sound manner so that the acquired evidence would be accepted in the court of law. Digital forensic process models define the important steps that should be followed to assure the investigation is performed successfully. There are a number of digital forensic process models developed by various organizations worldwide, but yet, there is no agreement among forensics investigation and legislative delegation which procedures to adhere to; specially in the case of facing mobile devices with latest technologies. This is vital, as mobile phones and other mobile devices such as PDAs or tablets are becoming ever-present as the main technology platform around the world and people are obtaining and using mobile phones more than ever. In this study we will give a review of the proposed digital forensics process models within last 7 years and to discuss the need for a consensus to follow the same underlying approaches while continually updating digital forensics process models to cover new emerging technologies and devices.

Research Trends, Challenges, and Emerging Topics in Digital Forensics: A Review of Reviews

“…It is worth noting that MF faces significant challenges concerning the focus of the overall MF processes. For example, it is not clear whether investigation procedures should be modelspecific for each device or should be generic enough to form a standardized set of guidelines applicable to forensics procedures [45]. Another challenge is the need to perform live forensics (mobile device should be powered on) [46].…”

How to Deliver Open Sustainable Innovation: An Integrated Approach for a Sustainable Marketable Product

“…Unfortunately, the propensity for criminals to use mobile phones to conduct their nefarious activities has also increased dramatically and, therefore, these devices have become even more valuable sources of evidence due to the incredible amount of information stored internally [50]. In particular, with the integration of highly developed communication features and with the increasing capacity in data storage and functionality, the distinction between mobile phones and personal computers has become blurred.…”

Penerapan Integrated Digital Forensic Investigation Framework v2 (IDFIF) pada Proses Investigasi Smartphone

“…Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, dapat menimbulkan permasalahan bagi pengguna teknologi itu sendiri, semakin maju kehidupan masyarakat, maka kejahatan juga ikut semakin maju. Kejahatan juga menjadi sebagian dari hasil budaya itu sendiri, ini berarti bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat budaya dan semakin modern suatu bangsa, maka semakin modern pula kejahatan itu dalam bentuk, sifat dan cara pelaksanaannya, hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari aplikasi yang ada pada smartphone [1].…”

“…Smartphone merupakan salah satu bentuk teknologi utama yang digunakan oleh orang untuk berkomunikasi dengan sesamanya dan tidak perlu menghabiskan waktu untuk bertemu secara fisik, salah satu teknologi komunikasi yang murah, mudah dan cepat yang digemari masyarakat sebagai layanan publik adalah Short Message Service (SMS). [1] Maraknya penipuan melalui SMS dapat menyebabkan terjadinya kejahatan berupa spamming SMS, dari berbagai laporan kejadian yang terjadi, baik yang diberitakan media maupun tidak, sudah banyak korban dari spamming SMS.…”

“…Merupakan barang bukti yang bersifat fisik dan dapat dikenali secara visual sehingga tim investigasi dan tim analisis dapat memahami dan mengenali masing barang bukti tersebut. Jenis barang bukti tersebut antara lain: [1]. Smartphone mempunyai fungsi yang menyerupai komputer sehingga kedepannya teknologi smartphone akan menyingkirkan teknologi komputer desktop terutama dalam hal pengaksesan data dari internet.…”
