IoT forensic analysis: A family of experiments with Amazon Echo devices

Criminal Investigations involving digital devices often focus on the analysis of mobile phones, tablets, and computers associated with the suspect or the victim. The connection of IoT devices to criminal investigations may not always be considered or understood by professionals handling the crime scene. The language, experience, and understanding needed to articulate the appropriate causes required to include IoT devices in search warrant affidavits are not always known or available to case agents overseeing the evidence-gathering portion of the investigation. For this reason, we introduce a novel methodology that shows how to locate and identify IoT device owner account information, device specifications and configurations, and the location of user activity on the device. We use this methodology to carry out a family of eight experiments on IoT devices that can assist law enforcement professionals in the construction of search warrant affidavits with information that will help satisfy the legal requirement to show evidence of a crime is likely contained on IoT devices. In this paper, we focus on Amazon Echo Show IoT devices and the legal justification for seizing and examining the devices, methods of extraction, and location of user-related artifacts on IoT device hardware. Overall, the implications of our study offer law enforcement professionals specific, practical instructions on how to deal with Amazon IoT devices involved in a crime scene. The analysis of data related to these devices is presented through practical demonstrations of these devices in action.

The geography of connectivity: a review of mobile positioning data for economic geography

Connectivity between and within places is one of the cornerstones of geography. However, the data and methodologies used to capture connectivity are limited due to the difficulty in gathering and analysing detailed observations in time and space. Mobile phone data potentially offer a rich and unprecedented source of data, which is exhaustive in time and space following movements and communication activities of individuals. This approach to study the connectivity patterns of societies is still rather unexplored in economic geography. However, a substantial body of work in related fields provides methodological and theoretical foundations, which warrant an in-depth review to make it applicable in economic geography. This paper reviews and discusses the state-of-the-art in the analysis of mobile phone and positioning data, with a focus on call detail records. It identifies methodological challenges, elaborates on key findings for geography, and provides an outline for future research on the geography of connectivity.

Layered Framework for Mobile Forensics Analysis

Mobile device seems to be smaller as compared to laptop and personal computers but performs almost every task that is performed on computer, such as internet connectivity, transferring files, multimedia file sharing, online shopping and transactions, booking of hotel/flight tickets, trading in stock exchange, email services etc. Organizations have an ever increasing amount of information/ data that is shared via various sources available in the market. The analysis of mobile phone is challenging at technical, legal and evidential level. Lack of technical knowledge of handling tools may lead to damage of crucial evidence while lack of standard legislation imposes legal challenges. Extracting and preserving evidence present on mobile device in proper manner is also important. Noting down each and every step/ activity performed while carrying forensic process is essential, therefore documentation is necessary. Forensic tools play crucial role in the process as they are used in almost every phase of the process, so the examiner must have complete knowledge of the tool and their working.

Reliability Analysis of Mobile Phones’ Acoustic Dust-Proof Mesh against Contaminated Environment

Dust particles and organic contaminants in environment can intrude into electronic device interior through the shell and opening holes. The intrusive contaminants can adhere on electric contact interface. Therefore, it can reduce components’ electric connection reliability. Widely it used acoustic dust-proof mesh to protect the mobile phone and other electric devices’ earpieces and speakers from contamination intrusion. This preventing contamination role makes much dust particles and organics adhere on the mesh. It is necessary to evaluate dust-proof mesh ability against contamination. In this paper, actual field contaminated meshes have been taken failure analysis. Then, lab simulation experiments have been established with considering meshes and contaminants’ characters. Finally the influence of mesh’s parameter on contamination has been researched.

SWOT analysis of mobile phones in four countries: Comparing India, Ethiopia, Kuwait, and the United States

This study explores the relationship between mobile technologies and economic and social development in four countries, two developed (USA and Kuwait) and two developing countries (Ethiopia and India) using SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis. Mobile technologies are a significant part of ICT investment around the world and they play an increasing role in sectors such as education, agriculture, industry, and health sciences. This investment and development applies not only to the urban environment but also extends to rural areas. This paper discusses the economic and social impact in those sectors and outlines the benefits. The analysis also considers the commitment of the government and industry in influencing “product and process” areas of mobile technologies and the innovative approaches carried out to meet the needs of the market environment.
