Digital Forensics of Internet of Things Smart Heating System Investigation

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) integrates the Internet and electronic devices with applicability to a large spectrum of domains, from smart home automation, industrial processes, military applications, to health and environmental monitoring. Despite the clear advantages, from a forensically sound perspective, IoT can improve the accuracy and integrity of forensic investigations, but still requires extensive scientific validation in practice. In this paper, we review selected stateof-the-art challenges corresponding to digital forensics of IoT environments, and we present an empirical method on how to investigate a security incident reported for an IoT specific case - Smart Heating system.
