As various features of the smartphone have been used, a lot of information have been stored in the smartphone, including the user's personal information. However, a frequent update of the operating system and applications may cause a loss of data and a risk of missing important personal data. Thus, the importance of data backup is significantly increasing. Many users employ the backup feature to store their data securely. However, in the point of forensic view these backup files are considered as important objects for investigation when issued hiding of smartphone or intentional deletion on data of smartphone. Therefore, in this paper we propose a scheme that analyze structure and restore data for Kies backup files of Samsung smartphone which has the highest share of the smartphone in the world. As the experimental results, the suggested scheme shows that the various types of files are analyzed and extracted from those backup files compared to other tools.

Smartphone can save many data because it provide various function such as call, message, calendar, document, camera, and so on. They include a number of important things like personal information. Thus it is necessary to backup the data to deal with smartphone change and a threat like ransomware. In this paper, we analyze the backup method using PC among several backup methods and check the possibility of leakage of personal information such as contacts from backup file. It is expected to be used to check the problems of the PC backup method or to strengthen the more secure backup technology.

The synchronization feature on the smartphone by default (default) value is set. Smartphone synchronization has been set is stored that smartphone data is automatically backed up is stored When connected to a PC with a smartphone dedicated cable. The backup data is a common technique to analyze the content to be difficult to apply forensic techniques can find out information on criminal suspects. In this paper, the backup data is synchronized to the smartphone through forensic analysis is the study of forensic evidence. In a lab environment to send personal financial information on smartphone, smartphone is assumed that the experiment is compromised. Smartphone's backup data by using the forensic tools in crime associated with personal financial information and analyze data. And, to be adopted by the court will study the evidence leveraging forensic technology. Through this paper as a basis for smartphone forensic analysis will be utilized.

With the widespread use of smartphones, various personal information of users is being recorded on a smartphone in real time. For the purpose of preventing the loss of important personal information of users, manufacturer provides a smartphone backup applications. Recently, not only backup programs for PC but also backup mobile apps for smart phones have been provided. From the point of view acquiring forensic data, it is important not to compromise the acquisition possibilities and the integrity of the original data. Especially, in the case of Android smartphones, various studies are being carried out to acquire the data without damaging the integrity of the original data. However, there are limitations to apply the existing research methods. In this paper, we describe the process of acquiring data using the backup mobile app provided by the manufacturer without compromising the integrity of the latest smartphone.

Recent advancements in mobile apps have led to continuously increasing memory demands on smartphone systems. Unlike desktops, which use swap functions to backup the entire memory footprint to storage when memory space is exhausted, smartphones terminate apps and lose significant context. This occurs because large-scale I/O operations to flash memory cause severe delays when swap is enabled on smartphones. This paper discusses how efficient memory management can be performed by using eMRAM, which is faster in write operations than flash memory, as the swap area in mobile systems. Considering the characteristics of backup storage (i.e., flash memory for the file system and eMRAM for the swap areas) as well as the reference characteristics of each page, we demonstrate that the proposed memory allocation and reclamation policies can improve the smartphone's I/O performance by an average of 15%.

The change in performance of the mobile communication field took place due to jumping development of technology, so high performance terminals that anyone can directly search and amend desired information anywhere and anytime, namely, the mobile communication terminals called Smartphone were released to the market. The terminal can store informations that an individual stored, for example, call log, where to make contact and address of acquaintances, transmit/receive message and mail, photographs and videos, etc., but there are worries on surreptitious use of other people due to leaking of personal information through loss or theft of these terminals because of several reasons, so the present thesis aims to realize a method that remotely control information inside a terminal in case of loss of a mobile communication terminal.

A cell phone is very close to the user and therefore should be considered in digital forensic investigation. Recently, the proportion of smartphone owners is increasing dramatically. Unlike the feature phone, users can utilize various mobile application in smartphone because it has high-performance operating system (e.g., Android, iOS). As acquisition and analysis of user data in smartphone are more important in digital forensic purposes, smartphone forensics has been studied actively. There are two way to do smartphone forensics. The first way is to extract user's data using the backup and debugging function of smartphones. The second way is to get root permission, and acquire the image of flash memory. And then, it is possible to reconstruct the filesystem, such as YAFFS, EXT, RFS, HFS+ and analyze it. However, this methods are not suitable to recovery and analyze deleted data from smartphones. This paper introduces analysis techniques for fragmented flash memory pages in smartphones. Especially, this paper demonstrates analysis techniques on the image that reconstruction of filesystem is impossible because the spare area of flash memory pages does not exist and the pages in unallocated area of filesystem.

Wearable devices need a host device to be paired with because of connectivity, functionality and ease personalization. There should be frequent update and backup processes between the paired devices even without user's consciousness. Due to pairing process, user-specific data are copied from smartphone and transferred to paired smartwatch. We focus on what happens in smartwatch because of pairing process. We perform an experiment study by observing and extracting data from smartwatch under real world usage phases. With a survey of user awareness on smartwatch regarding security and privacy, moreover, we suggest risk assessment on smartwatch in five levels, particularly considering pairing process based on security and privacy.
