Forensics Analysis on Mobile Devices:A Systematic Mapping Study

Nowadays, mobile devices have evolved vertiginously due to their massive adoption by users, who have several devices with different purposes. These devices contain greater capacity/functionality to manage information, with the embedded characteristics they become an important digital evidence container. In recent years, considerable research has been conducted on various types of digital electronic evidence, acquisition schemes and methods of extracting evidence from mobile devices. In this paper, a systematic mapping of the Forensics Analysis on Mobile Device is presented; this research has been conducted following the guidelines of Kitchenham’s methodology. The aim of this study is to provide a background of relevant activities that are considered by investigators to handle with potentially useful digital evidence from mobile devices. A total of 36 primary studies were selected and categorized to extract information regarding the aforementioned classification. The results presented in this contribution provide a detailed study about current analysis in research forensics field by the use of mobile devices.

Intelligent pillbox: Automatic and programmable Assistive Technology device

Assistive Technology (AT) maintains and improves the individuals functioning and independence, thereby promoting their well-being. But today only 1 from each 10 people in need have access to AT due to high costs and a lack of awareness, availability, personal training, policy and financing. By 2050, more than 2 billion people will need at least 1 assistive product with many elderly needing 2 or more. Elderly make important contributions to the society. Though some people aged well, other become frail, with a high risk of disease. In this paper, we propose a first approach related the design of AT device. This uses open source technologies and gives a new choice in taking medication dosages. “The Intelligent PillBox” allows the organization of several medication schedules that health disorders presented in elderly need basically. Arduino Mega 2560 was took as the principal controller. This prototype contains; a programmable alarm system with an automatic opening and closing system, an interactive user interface and a notification system through GSM network. The development of this device is focused in the support of elderly people and other vulnerable groups that may need for an assisted care.

Security of mobile cloud computing: A systematic mapping study

Cloud Computing has gained more prominence in organizations in the last years. Meanwhile, ubiquity and mobility are two main features that have emerged from the popularization of mobile devices. Therefore, the combination of ubiquitous mobile network and cloud computing generates Mobile Cloud Computing technology. This next-generation technology has led to the development of applications based on mobile cloud computing, which required specific security features because of their specific requirements. This paper presents the results of a systematic mapping done for mobile cloud computing technology. This study breaks down the security sub-characteristic from the ISO / IEC 25010 relates them to the information found in our study that analyzed and evaluated a total of 83 articles. The novelties found in this study allow to identify the security problems that are not being addressed by the researchers and in this way, can be quantified to serve as the basis for future research.
