While its likely Cellebrite make use of some known (and possibly some unknown) exploits to bypass the screen lock on some phone models and get at user data, sometimes they require the device to be unlocked and doubtlessly make use of adb to pull out user data. Encryption on Android devices has changed over the last few years, introducing the possibility for File Based Encryption FBE, later making in mandatory.
File based encryption enables apps to use keys to encrypt their data that are flushed when the screen is locked. Many security concerned apps like password managers and OTP apps make use of this. If you feel the need you can use 'multiple users' to create an extra user or use a work profile (Island, Shelter, Insular) to keep sensitive apps and data. These have seperate encryption keys that are flushed upon switching off the work profile or restarting the phone (for multi user). You can still use the main user on the phone with the work profile/multi user encryption keys not held in memory. |
