1-main area : After apple brought in market its flagship products iPhone and iPad, it brought
immense success for apple as a company and these products were a commercial success.
Consumers not only loved these products, but they were super proud in owning these devices.
However, applicability of these devices in forensic aspect was not recognized.
2-proposed solution: These devices contained type of data that were capable of providing insight
regarding forensic applications. These devices being portable was also capable of storing of data
that were applicable of forensic applications. However, applicability of these devices in forensic
applications in full capability was not identified properly and therefore, opportunity for proper
application was not considered as well.
In order to identify how these devices could be considered for forensic applications, it is
important to identify some of its advanced features that are provided with these devices. In 2010,
apple brought ios 4, its 4th generation of mobile operating system that was by far most advanced
operating system in the market. With this ios 4, it brought some advanced features that made
people consider its applicability in forensic aspect rather than just considering it some
commercial smartphone.
In ios 4 one important feature that is of importance in this context is AirPrint. As its name
suggest, this is a feature related with printing. However, what make this feature special is that it
is capable of printing wirelessly which means that there is no need of traditional printing feature
as printing is done wirelessly which apple marketed as AirPrint. Although this was a simple
feature, but one special feature of this is lack of driver support.

3-result: In traditional printing facility, driver is required for printing any document. But in this
context, there were no requirement for driver for printing any document or anything that needs
printing facility. However, while this was an excellent feature as long as portability and
convenience are concerned, there were something to look for when it is analysed from forensic
point of view. When printing is done through AirPrint, some traces are left. This is an important
feature when applied in forensic analysis. As traces of printing is there, it might be considered to
identify details of document. Sometime a document might be lost and it might not be easy to
retrieve those document. Therefore, when it is possible to recover those document by analysing
traces of document, it becomes very significant from forensic point of view. Therefore, it is
important to identify whether this is a feasible option to retrieve document from its traces as it is
considered in forensic investigation and accuracy and authenticity are of prime importance in
this context. According to analysis as provided in this article, it is possible to retrieve those
traces, but for this, extensive analysis of these devices are required.
4-conclusions: This is applicable for ios devices which offers significant encryption for its
document security. However, if proper procedure is applied, it is possible to analyze these
documents even though these documents are encrypted. Therefore, these ios devices are
applicable for various forensic aspects as well
Future work and compering : Further work will be performed in the recovery process. i

1-main area: Main area of research is that smart phones have been causing severe issues in the
data processing field. It is seen that the smart phones have been generating huge amount of data
which have been proposing the working employ encryption method. This section includes the
