Trustworthy and Useful Tools for Mobile Phone Extraction

Living With AI Podcast: Challenges of Living with Artificial Intelligence

Mobile phones store valuable information about geographical movements, communications behaviours and online browsing history. They are increasingly used as a source of evidence in criminal investigations. The Mobile Phone Extraction (MPE) process, involves making copies of a device belonging to suspects, victims or witnesses. The extracted data is examined by police and others in the criminal justice system during ongoing investigations.
There is a crisis of trust and practice in MPE. This project addresses the crisis by supporting development of a trustworthy and useful platform for MPE. The project partnered with experts in software development (Telemarq) and digital forensics (Hargs Solutions).
