Abstract

More than often in our days, cases go to trial and crimes are solved with the help of evidence taken from the mobile phones and their use. Typical examples of such evidence are the mobile phone’s location (based on the serving base station and/or GPS data), the contacts correlation (based on incoming and outgoing calls), communication content (based on messages and emails send/received/stored), and so on. In this chapter, we will analyze the subject of digital evidence from mobile phones from both the theoretical and the technical side.
