Challenges In Mobile Forensics Technology, Methodology, Training, And Expense

Summary/Abstract: Mobile devices present special challenges to the digital forensic investigator. Creating a single method or forensic tool to address all scenarios involving the growing number of mobile devices poses an ever-changing challenge [1]. To meet these digital forensics challenges and to allow complete investigation of different mobile devices, the development of new forensics tools and investigative methods is required [2]. Data on mobile devices can be located in different locations, such as on SIM cards, a device’s embedded and removable memory. Also, data associated with calls and subscribers is kept by the service provider [3]. Mobile forensic investigators must constantly receive updated training to sustain their level of expertise. Because of the evolving nature of the digital forensic field, a continuous training plan must be in place, based on existing training resources [4]. This paper will present challenges in mobile forensics technologies, methodologies, training, and expenses as well as a proposal example to address these challenges.
