Illustrative Scenario: Mobile Device Forensics in Civil Litigation
Suppose the parties to a civil dispute disagree about what was agreed by message. Examiners would extract the communication records from the phones in a forensically sound way, recovering message threads, where the data is still recoverable, and their timestamps.
The Challenge
Parties to a commercial contract dispute need verified messages from phones to support claims about verbal agreements and the order of events.
Forensic Approach & Methodology
Using physical and logical extraction of the phones, examiners would recover the messaging databases and check the messages' internal consistency against the exported database structures.
Outcome & Impact
What an examination could establish: A chronological record of the messages, to help resolve the dispute. Whether evidence is admitted is decided by the court in each case.
