Abstract

The smartphone segment has been witnessed the fastest growth in the handset market.Traditional phones will be replaced by smart phones. At the same time, smart phones may be used for fraud, forgery and defamation and other criminal activities.Symbian smartphones forensics is relatively a new field of interest among scientific and law enforcement.There are various mobile phones forensics process models now. But these models may not be able to solve the problems of the Symbian smartphone’s adoption.In this paper,we describe a process model for forensic analysis of Symbian smartphones. As a result,this model can overcome some problems of the traditional model of digital investigation on Symbian smartphones.
