Abstract

The widespread integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in households generates extensive digital footprints, notably within Smart Home ecosystems. These IoT devices, brimming with data about residents, inadvertently offer insights into human activities, potentially embodying even criminal acts, such as a murder. As technology advances, so does the concern for criminals seeking to exploit various techniques to conceal evidence and evade investigations. This paper delineates the application of Anti-Digital Forensics (ADF) in Smart Home scenarios and recognises its potential to disrupt (digital) investigations. It does so by elucidating the current challenges and gaps and by arguing, in response, the conceptualisation of an ADF Kill Chain tailored to Smart Home ecosystems. While seemingly arming criminals, the Kill Chain will allow a better understanding of the distinctive peculiarities of Anti-Digital Forensics in Smart Home scenario. This understanding is essential for fortifying the Digital Forensics process and, in turn, developing robust countermeasures against malicious activities.
