Abstract

Abstract In this chapter,we explore some of the fundamentals of the Realm database (sometimes referred to as RealmDB or simply Realm). It is widely known within the Digital Forensics discipline that SQLite is the most commonly found database format within any mobile device application and even some desktop applications. Realm is a relatively new database format built as a potential replacement for SQLite, as technology and applications continue to develop and evolve. At the time of writing, it is clear that the database is not as commonly found as some might have expected, but that is not to say the database format will not eventually find its way into many modern apps over the coming years. To that end, we decided to research the database to try and provide some of the details of interest relating to the fundamentals behind the new format.We hope this chapter will help digital forensic examiners and investigators learn and grasp some of the basic concepts of Realm, hoping that any new knowledge and understanding might support and assist in future research into the topic.
