Enhanced digital forensics techniques for wireless environments

Trček, Denis (author)

The number of wireless devices, especially Internet of Things (IoT) devices that lack computing resources, is growing rapidly. According to Statista and Fortune Business Insights, the number of connected IoT devices is expected to reach approximately 25–30 billion by 2030. It is clear that criminal activities will increasingly target these types of devices. However, IoT environments have unique characteristics not only from a technological perspective, but also from a human factor perspective. These specifics require appropriately adapted approaches for digital forensics to address this reality which are discussed in this article.
