USIM Card forensics
The USIM card is the heart of most modern mobile phones it enables you to communicate with ease. The computer chip inside not only stores your phone number, address book and other information. If you change your phone, you can move all of this personal information in seconds, simply by installing the USIM card in your new mobile phone.
The information that can be stored on a USIM card is dependant on the handset.
Simply put, this is the world standard. GSM mobile phones used mainly in Europe utilize SIM card. The USIM card is a more sophisticated type that allows you to send and receive calls using your regular phone number in major countries around the world.
USIM card technology provides a high level of security, making it almost impossible for someone to produce or clone cards illegally. Also, a USIM card requires a secret PIN code.
It takes only a few moments for Sector forensics to acquire information from the USIM and save it to an Image File.
From the image file we will create a report tailored to suit your needs.Our reports are designed to be informative and easy to read.
A typical report includes the following information:
Integrated Circuit Card ID (ICCID)
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) .
Mobile Country Code (MCC).
Mobile Network Code (MNC).
Mobile Subscriber International ISDN Number (MSISDN)
Abbreviated Dialling Numbers
Short Message Services (SMS)
Sample reports are available on request, for more information Contact Us.

Mobile Forensic Information
Forensic & GSM Mobile
This paper briefly explains the basics of the GSM system
Handheld Device Security
The loss of a handheld device containing sensitive information is a very real threat
Guidlines in PDA Forensic
Wayne Jansen, Rick Ayers, NIST Special Publication 800-72, Nov 2004.
Security in GSM System
With a radio link, anyone with a receiver is able to passively monitor the airwaves
Specification of the SIM application toolkit
Defines the interface between the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment(ME), and mandatory ME procedures, specifically for "SIM Application Toolkit
Specification of the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment (SIM - ME) interface
Defines the interface between the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment (ME) for use during the network operation phase of GSM as well as those aspects of the internal organization of the SIM which are related to the network operation phase.
Technical realization of the Short Message Service (SMS)
The Point-to-Point Short Message Service (SMS) provides a means of sending messages of limited size to and from GSM mobiles. The provision of SMS makes use of a Service Centre, which acts as a store and forward centre for short messages. Thus a GSM PLMN needs to support the transfer of short messages between Service Centres and mobiles.
Software
USIMdetective allows the retrieval of call records, phonebook contacts, SMS and deleted text messages from SIM cards, with a fully integrated standard and custom reports feature.
Capable of analyzing and retrieving information from GSM and 3G USIM cards, with an intuitive user interface 'USIM Detective' is an ideal application for the mobile phone examiners toolbox.
