Abstract
This document reports the results from testing Susteen’s Secure View, version 1.8.0, against the GSM Mobile Device and Associated Media Tool Specification and Test Plan Version 1.1. Test results in this study provide the information necessary for developers to improve tools, users to make informed choices, and the legal community and others to understand the tools’ capabilities. This approach to testing computer forensic tools is based on well-recognized methodologies for conformance and quality testing. The CFTT program provides measurable assurance to practitioners, researchers, and other applicable users that the tools used in computer forensics investigations provide accurate results. Accomplishing this requires the development of specifications and test methods for computer forensics tools and subsequent testing of specific tools against those specifications. The CFTT program is a joint project of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research and development organization of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) Office of Law Enforcement Standards and Information Technology Laboratory. CFTT is supported by other organization, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, Electronic Crimes Program, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Secret Service.
