As mobile forensics has emerged as an essential technique, the demand for technology development, education and training is increasing, wherein images are used. Academic societies in South Korea and national institutions in the US and the UK are leading the Mobile Forensic Image development. However, compared with disks, images developed in a mobile environment are few cases and have less active research, causing a waste of time, money, and manpower. Mobile Forensic Images are also difficult to trust owing to insufficient verification processes. Additionally, in South Korea, there are legal issues involving the Telecommunications Business Act and the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information. Therefore, in this study, we requested a review of a standard model for the development of Mobile Forensic Image from experts and designed an 11-step development model. The steps of the model are as follows: a. setting of design directions, b. scenario design, c. selection of analysis techniques, d. review of legal issues, e. creation of virtual information, f. configuring system settings, g. performing imaging as per scenarios, h. Developing a checklist, i. internal verification, j. external verification, and k. confirmation of validity. Finally, we identified the differences between the mobile and disk environments and discussed the institutional efforts of South Korea. This study will also provide a guideline for the development of professional quality verification and proficiency tests as well as technology and talent-nurturing tools. We propose a method that can be used as a guide to secure pan-national trust in forensic examiners and tools. We expect this study to strengthen the mobile forensics capabilities of forensic examiners and researchers. This research will be used for the verification and evaluation of individuals and institutions, contributing to national security, eventually.

With the rapid development of information and communication technology, mobile devices have become an essential tool in our lives. Mobile devices are used as important evidence in criminal proof, as they accumulate data simultaneously with PIM functions while working with users most of the time. The mobile forensics is a procedure for obtaining digital evidence from mobile devices and should be collected and analyzed in accordance with due process, just like other evidence, and the integrity of the evidence is essential because it has aspects that are easy to manipulate and delete. Also, the adoption of evidence relies on the judges' liberalism, which necessitates the presentation of generalized procedures. In this paper, a mobile forensics model is presented to ensure integrity through the generalization of procedures. It is expected that the proposed mobile forensics model will contribute to the formation of judges by ensuring the reliability and authenticity of evidence.

Nowadays, third-party applications form an important part of the mobile environment, and social networking applications in particular can leave a variety of user footprints compared to other applications. Digital forensics of mobile third-party applications can provide important evidence to forensics investigators. However, most mobile operating systems are now updated on a frequent basis, and developers are constantly releasing new versions of them. For these reasons, forensic investigators experience difficulties in finding the locations and meanings of data during digital investigations. Therefore, this paper presents scenario-based methods of forensic analysis for a specific third-party social networking service application on a specific mobile device. When applied to certain third-party applications, digital forensics can provide forensic investigators with useful data for the investigation process. The main purpose of the forensic analysis proposed in the present paper is to determine whether the general use of third-party applications leaves data in the mobile internal storage of mobile devices and whether such data are meaningful for forensic purposes.

With the increase in smartphone user, mobile forensics has become an essential element in modern digital forensic investigation. Mobile messenger data is very important data in mobile forensics because it can acquire information such as user's life pattern and mental state. In order to analyze messenger data, a decryption technique of an encrypted messenger data is required. Since most messengers provide a message deleting function, a technique for recovering deleted messages is required. WeChat Messenger, a messenger used by about 1 billion people around the world, uses IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) information to encrypt data and provides message deletion function. In this paper, we propose a data decryption method in the absence of IMEI information and propose a method for recovering deleted messages using FTS (Full Text Search) database created for full-text search function of SQLite database.
