Descripción del proyecto
Nuevas herramientas para el análisis forense de dispositivos móviles
Los teléfonos móviles tienen un alcance casi universal. No es de extrañar que los dispositivos móviles se usen habitualmente para llevar a cabo actividades ilegales. Por lo tanto, hay un dispositivo móvil implicado en prácticamente todos los delitos que se cometen, desde la usurpación de la identidad y la extracción de datos hasta la trata de seres humanos, el abuso infantil y el homicidio. Los mecanismos de cifrado de datos se suman a los retos que plantea este fenómeno. El proyecto EXFILES, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará nuevas herramientas para que las fuerzas de seguridad puedan extraer datos y pruebas relacionadas de dispositivos móviles. Dirigido por un consorcio de fuerzas de seguridad, universidades y empresas de ciberseguridad, el proyecto se centrará en desarrollar «software», «hardware» y métodos combinados. Además, considerará los aspectos éticos y jurídicos de la investigación y la explotación. Los hallazgos serán especialmente útiles para la siguiente generación de expertos forenses.
Objetivo
"Technological advances and development of sophisticated functions in mobile devices led to new usages and dependencies. Mobile phones are often a key factor in criminal cases, intrusions, intellectual property theft, security threats, and more. The data stored in these devices may contain critical evidence associated with the above-mentioned crimes.
The latest generation of devices incorporate new security features and encryption schemes to ""protect"" the device and its associated user data. The other side of the coin is that the rapid processing of critical evidence by various information retrieval techniques is slowed down, if not made impossible. The mobile device forensics field is a challenging area for forensic analysts, particularly given the increasing number of data encryption mechanisms.
The EXFILES project aims to provide law enforcement agencies (LEAs) with new tools to extract data and associated evidence from these devices in strict legal contexts. A unique consortium of five LEAs, universities and cyber security companies from the EU have joined forces to address these challenges. Together, they defined three areas of work on technical data extraction techniques, namely software exploitation, hardware methods and combined methods. In addition, tools and methods inspired by other areas of information security (e.g. security assessments based on common criteria) will lead to new judicial methods of accessing data for lawful investigations. Another unique dimension of EXFILES is the clear focus on the ethical and legal aspects of research and exploitation as well as dissemination and training activities for the next generation of forensic experts.
The main objective of EXFILES project is to improve Law Enforcement Agencies techniques and methods, to extract digital evidence from modern encrypted smartphones used by criminals based on holistic approach (both software and hardware).
