AUTOMATED WORKSTATION FOR CARRYING OUT CRIMINALISTIC EXAMINATION OF CELLULAR TELEPHONES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G06F15/02 H04M11/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus, consisting of an automated workstation for carrying out criminalistic examination of EZK, comprises: a code generating unit, a control unit, a display unit, a interface unit, a data register, a counter, a comparator, a controlled switch, an amplifier, an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), a resistor, a memory unit and a processing device. Collectively, the listed elements enable transmitting all possible authorisation code combinations to the SIM card input with interruption of the authorisation process up to the moment of recording a new value of the number of attempts at authorisation in non-volatile memory of the SIM card. The PIN code is determined by comparing the type of time dependency of the SIM card power current for all alternatives of the authorisation code and picking up therefrom the time dependency which corresponds to the authorisation procedure when entering the PIN code.

EFFECT: automation of the process of selecting a code combination which is the PIN code of a cellular telephone undergoing criminalistic examination.
