Nowadays, mobile devices are indispensable for social and business activities. Therefore, mobile device forensic technologies are critical for forensics practitioners. While using these technologies, they can investigate and analyze mobile phone application artifacts that contain data useful metadata, such as geographical location and timestamp. However, developing a complete forensic investigation software for mobile devices is challenging. While developing or maintaining forensic investigation software, project team must consider new trends such as emerging IT technologies, increases of popular mobile applications, new features added to existing mobile applications, and security constraints constantly. In this study, we have defined and applied a process based on agile methodology to develop forensic investigation modules. Moreover, we have presented the implementation details of modules for 9 popular Android social media and instant messaging applications, including wireless communication and system information. Finally, we have summarized the difficulties encountered in this study.

Performance evaluation of lightweight cryptographic algorithms for internet of things security
Polat, Selahattin; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Cyber Security (2019)
Widespread deployment of mobile and embedded devices in everyday use has brought up not only new concepts and application areas such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) but also several security and privacy problems. In theory, it is possible to mitigate most of these problems by implementing well-known and standardized security algorithms and techniques on IoT devices. However, in practice, it is rather difficult, if not impossible, to implement standard security algorithms on these devices due to their limited re...
