Abstract

Nowdays to solve any crime and incident, mobile phone evidence plays a vital role. Digital forensics experts need specialized tools and techniques to extract the evidence from mobile phones for analysis. Extracting the evidence from mobile phones in a forensically sound manner has never been an easy task. The evidence extraction from mobile phones poses many challenges, as the entire process must ensure the integrity of evidence and its admissibility in the court of law. There are various tools and techniques available for mobile forensics which are classified based on its complexity and its physical characteristics. In this paper we are discussing various contemporary state-of-the art approach and advanced techniques used in mobile forensic. The different level of approach for mobile forensics, its advantages, disadvantages, cost and complexity are discussed in detail. The paper also highlights critical technical issues, research opportunities and challenges. [144]
