IoT Forensics: A Review on Current Trends, Approaches and Foreseen Challenges

Abstract

IoT has become inevitable in current scenario of due to idea of smart living. Every aspect of human civilization is being converged to IoT systems, may it be smart homes, personal grooming, organization, smart city, health care, business, manufacturing, etc. IoT systems are not only contributing to improving the quality of service but also to effectively use resources. But, due to exposure of all sensitive data of a person/organization to the cyber community through IoT systems, which majorly exploits cloud platforms for implementing them, the people and organization are at more risk, and no. of cyber-crimes are also increasing day by day. Cyber-crime investigation involves digital forensic which is a typical task for IoT environments due to its heterogeneous nature. This work compiles a survey done on the current developments in the field of IoT forensic and tried to identify gaps, challenges, and scope of research in the field.
