These challenges include: <em>Web Based Email Client Analysis, Authorship of an Email, Manage (N) Number of Cases, analysis of pornographic images existing in emails, and examine relationship between multiple suspects.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"h4 wp-block-heading\">Traversing the Email Services Forensically<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s consider a situation in which, a culprit\u2019s data is seized and analysis shows that both <em><strong>desktop based and web based email clients <\/strong><\/em>were used by the suspect to perform various illicit deeds. Now, at the time of email investigation, examiner is only able to carve out crucial evidence from desktop based email clients while data will remains undetected on the webmail account without the input of generous manual efforts. This imperfect approach of email analysis creates problem during the reporting of investigation performed due to incomplete procedures implemented. To overcome this issue the examiner needs an email analysis tool that fulfills the investigative requirements of both; desktop as well as web based email platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Detecting Suspect Authorship<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Another vital task for an investigator is to detect the <strong><em>authorship of an email account<\/em><\/strong><em>. <\/em>To overcome this issue, examiner needs to follow a number of footsteps because there is no standardized solution of this problem. The lack of standard procedures that addresses to this issue creates a complexity during email investigation as a major amount of resources, time and efforts will be put into gaining authorized access of the account instead of evidence acquisition and analysis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Manage Multiple Cases <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-justify wp-block-paragraph\">During an investigation, forensic examiners deal with multiple cases for collaboratively analyzing email artifacts. To perform the task more professionally and effectively investigators need <strong><em>Management of Case<\/em><\/strong>. Mainly managing of case involves; Creation of case, management of already running cases and further manipulations. An investigator can perform these entire three tasks and other required management tasks with the help of an email analysis tool programmed to handle such trivial tasks of not only managing multiple cases but also representing them in the court of law without much ado.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Investigation of Objectionable Pornographic Image<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Email communication is a fast growing field in digital media. And with the advancement in technology, cyber criminals are also becoming more resourceful in their <strong><em>phishing, spamming, cyber bullying and pharming<\/em><\/strong> activities. Stealing and sharing of personal information like images through email has become a fast constituent of cybercrime. Forensic investigation of sharing of pornographic images using email poses as a new challenge for investigators due to the feasibility of embedding images within attachments which further helps in concealing them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Detect Relationship Among Multiple Suspects<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-justify wp-block-paragraph\">All investigations require an in-depth analysis of the suspect\u2019s emails to create a comprehensive and organized case file. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailxaminer.com\/blog\/link-analysis-in-criminal-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Link analysis<\/strong><\/a> between users and domains plays an important role in the examination of criminal entities performed by a culprit. In simple words, link-based examination provides detailed information that is shared between multiple suspects in a crime. It is mainly based on graph theory, and to examine and extract evidence, an investigator needs the best link analysis tool that is automated to generate existing links (between users\/domains) for further simplification of examination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>After the in-depth R &amp; D of issues that are faced by investigators during an investigation, our aim is to provide a forensically sound technology for the same.
