Mobile device forensics is a branch of digital forensics relating to recovery of digital evidence or data from a mobile device under forensically sound conditions.

This course focuses on the forensic study of mobile devices due to the rapid proliferation of smartphones and applications such as contacts, photos, calendars and notes, SMS and MMS messages, video, email, web browsing information, location information, and social networking. This increased usage has also seen a marked increase in cybercrime involving smartphones.
