Fusion of Forensic Analysis of Mobile Devices: Integrating Multi-Criteria Decision Methods and Case Study Insights
View PDF Abstract
This study employed a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDM) approach, utilizing the DEMATEL and TOPSIS methodologies, to assess the effectiveness of forensic tools designed for mobile devices, with a specific emphasis on Android and iOS platforms. The investigation evaluated technologies used for collecting, retrieving, and validating data in the Cyber Forensic Field Triage paradigm, with a focus on rapidly identifying and interpreting digital evidence. The study incorporated several factors and expert preferences, concluding that the Android Triage and Andriller tools were the most efficient.
