A tremendous amount of personal information is stored, intentionally and sometimes unintentionally, on our cell phones and mobile devices. Because data that has been forensically retrieved from cell phones is court admissible, the quality and integrity of cell phone forensic techniques is crucial.
Cell and mobile phone forensics is the science of recovering data from a mobile phone or other hand-held device in a forensically sound environment. Cell phone forensics can include full data retrieval, retrieval of data on a device’s SIM/USIM and/or the optional memory cards.
