TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - An evidence-based forensic taxonomy of Windows phone dating apps JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Cahyani, Niken Dwi Wahyu A1 - Choo, Kim-Kwang Raymond A1 - Ab Rahman, Nurul Hidayah A1 - Ashman, Helen SP - 243 EP - 253 VL - 64 IS - 1 N2 - Advances in technologies including development of smartphone features have contributed to the growth of mobile applications, including dating apps. However, online dating services can be misused. To support law enforcement investigations, a forensic taxonomy that provides a systematic classification of forensic artifacts from Windows Phone 8 (WP8) dating apps is presented in this study. The taxonomy has three categories, namely: Apps Categories, Artifacts Categories, and Data Partition Categories. This taxonomy is built based on the findings from a case study of 28 mobile dating apps, using mobile forensic tools. The dating app taxonomy can be used to inform future studies of dating and related apps, such as those from Android and iOS platforms.
