Android Architecture: Linux Kernel
• Linux kernel with system services: – Security
– Memory and process management
– Network stack
• Provide driver to access hardware: – Camera
– Display and audio
– Wifi
– …

Android Architecture: Android RunTime
• Core Libraries: – Written in Java
– Provides the functionality of Java programming language
– Interpreted by Dalvik VM
• Dalvik VM: – Java based VM, a lightweight substitute to JVM
– Unlike JVM, DVM is a register based Virtual Machine
– DVM is optimized to run on limited main memory and less CPU usage
– Java code (.class files) converted into .dex format to be able to run on Android platform

SQLite Database
• SQLite Database:
– SQLite is a widely used, lightweight database
– Used by most mobile OS i.e. iPhone, Android, Symbian, webOS
– SQLite is a free to use and open source database
– Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.
– A complete database is stored in a single cross-platform disk file.

Seizing Android Device
• If device is Off – Do not turn ‘ON’
• If device is On – Let it ON and keep device charging
• Take photos and display of the device
• Seize all other accessories available i.e. Memory card, cables etc.
• Label all evidences and document everything

Maintaining ‘Chain of Custody’
• What is Chain of Custody?
• CoC can have following information: What is the evidence?
How did you get it?
When was it collected?
Who has handled it?
Why did that person handle it?
Where has it travelled, and where was it ultimately stored?

– The computer as a weapon
• Indian Laws:
– IT Act 2000
– IT(Amendment) Act, 2008
