Understanding and exploiting location traces in mobile telephony forensics​

For decades, Rohde & Schwarz has been a reliable partner of security authorities worldwide for radio and network surveillance tasks from a single source. The company offers a wide range of solutions for spectrum monitoring, signals intelligence and electronic operations management to support the relevant authorities and armed forces. Today, these reconnaissance applications are essential for securing critical infrastructures and protecting internal and external security. After years of providing technical solutions to the School of Criminal Justice (ESC) of the Faculty of Law, Criminal Justice and Public Administration (FDCA) of the University of Lausanne (UNIL), and supporting such partners with our expertise in the field of cellular network analysis, we are particularly pleased to welcome Professor Doctor Thomas R. Souvignet and his colleagues as competent speakers on these subjects. Professor Souvignet’s research team is working intensively on the evaluation of location traces from smartphones. Today, information from satellites is supplemented by information from services in the direct vicinity of the device, such as surrounding mobile phone antennas, WiFi or Bluetooth. The presentation will deal with important findings on the functioning and interaction of these services, which are of decisive importance for the correct evaluation of location traces from mobile phones.​
