Abstract

The metadata properties and the characteristic features of display structure of image/video files transferred/exchanged using Bluetooth, Wifi(Shareit) and WhatsApp among the android based smart phones have been analyzed. This metadata study involves the fundamentals of sharing image through Bluetooth, Wifi and the social networking application “WhatsApp”. From the findings of the study the originated source of image/video files could be identified or trace out, which could be very useful for forensic authentication of suspect image/video files as well as in police investigation of various types of the crime cases. Moreover, this research emphasizes the size, resolution and location of the image clicked and shared in different sharing media applications like Bluetooth, WiFi and WhatsApp. New technologies present both challenges and opportunities for the security professional, especially for areas such as digital forensics. It analyzes potential originated source with location of device as they may have used for the crime by criminals. The tests and analysis were performed with the aim of determining what metadata and information can be found on the device memory for sharing of images/video. The experiments and results show that the potential evidences and valuable data can be found on sharing of data in Android phones by forensic investigators.
