A Methodology for Forensic Analysis of Embedded Systems

An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, for example, just portable devices such as MP3 players, cell phone, PDA, to telemetric system like car navigation system etc. The more embedded systems are diversifying various types, the more forensic community is concentrating on efforts of research correspond to all kinds of embedded systems. Forensic analysis of embedded systems will become an area of increasing significance in the near future. Clearly, the growing use of embedded systems and the ubiquitous age is required advanced digital forensic techniques for the future forensic computing. In this paper, we introduce new emerging embedded systems and show a comprehensive methodology for forensic analysis of embedded systems.
