Keywords used in all search engine: IOS and Android data encryption
Write a paragraph summarizing the article.

The next version of Android will encrypt information by default. This prevents law enforcement and
thieves from gaining access to the data stored on the phones. Google announced the feature in
response to Apples C.E.Os rising accusations of how its competitors handle customers security. Apple
has also increased its focus on security since recent leaks of nude photos of celebrities from the Apple
iCloud. (Musil)
Find two additional Internet articles on the same topic.
1. Android and iOS auto encryption will cause trouble for law enforcement agencies. (Thekkethi)
2. iOS 8 vs Android 5.0 L: Data Encryption War, Anything Apple Offers Google Can Too (Silva)

searched it.

4. The information is accurate and has been referenced against other sources and still shows
consistency.
5. The article was written on an informative basis and shows little to know bias as it is more
objective in nature.
Find two scholarly journal articles on the same topic from the CCBC library
Databases.
1. Evaluating the privacy of Android mobile applications under forensic analysis (Christoforos
Ntantogian) Used ScienceDirect database as it was suggested in the CCBC library databases
search engine. Same keywords used as all other searches done for this assignment.
2. Smartphone sensor data as digital evidence (Alexios Mylonas) Also used ScienceDirect
database as it was suggested in the CCBC library databases search engine. Same keywords used
as all other searches done for this assignment.
Compare the Internet and Journal articles
The articles found online articles and journal articles differed in a multitude of ways. The online articles
were easier to access and were more relevant to the search topic. One plus to the journal articles
although is that they are more detailed in their wording and contain more information. The journal
articles were harder to access due to a required login for CCBC Library databases and the redirection to
multiple sites along with the required use of a filter for the search engine. While the journal articles
were only months old they were not days old or even hours old like the online articles. Ultimately both
articles would be better suited under different circumstances but for everyday use an online search
would be preferred to its ease of access and up to date information.
