# Quantum Biotech and Internet of Virus Things: Towards a Theoretical Framework
## 4 Methodology
### Research Methodology Motivation  
The motivation to design a new methodology to perform forensic investigations in the IoVT environment because it influences the evaluation process significantly which calls for a new approach associated with diversity of sensors, connectivity options, computational capacities, cloud interactions, and physical access.  
Figure 2: Topology for which the methodology is built.  
4.3.1. Diversity of Sensors, Devices, and Systems  
In contradiction to conventional forensics, IoT objects (devices, and systems) are designed to perform diverse tasks in disparate and specific contexts such as healthcare, smart homes, smart cities, and critical environments. Therefore, the multiplicity of IoT devices and systems is immense. Furthermore, most of them have similarities with desktop and mobile ones. Hence, new propositions on how to accomplish the analysis are necessary.  
4.3.2. Connectivity  
IoVT topographies comprise many devices that interact with each other to perform various actions.  
Traditional forensics is egregious to encounter examinations involving multiple devices. Example: a master plan in which there are sensors, actuators, and a central node. The sensor is transmitting data to the central node, which interprets it and communicates (or not) to the relevant actuator to perform an action.  
4.3.3. Computational Capacities  
IoVT devices are designed to exchange information with each other rather than perform complex tasks. However, their computational power, storage capacity, dedicated memory is low bestowing a short lifetime. Therefore, the IoVT methodology requires an approach that allows the exchange of information properly, unlike traditional forensics.  
4.3.4. Interaction with the Cloud  
Because the limited computational capacities of devices are compensated with the usage of the cloud, the IoVT applications in the cloud environment issue is a serious one. Consequently, interaction with the cloud must be considered proactively designing a forensic methodology in the IoVT environment.  
4.3.5. Physical Access  
IoVT devices have such a compact size enabling them to install in small places or be embedded into other objects. An industrial device can be inside the machine that it operates. This means in specific situations; the image of the storage must be obtained by following a live forensic acquisition process.  
4.3.6. Battery Life  
IoVT device installation at some locations is not suitable for connectivity to the electricity supply. Therefore, the use of batteries is a power source influencing the forensic examination if the investigator needs to perform an analysis or live forensic acquisition. Running out of battery power causes an alteration of the data stored on it during the rebooting process, thus influencing the evidence.  
5. QBIoVT Paradigm  
5.1. Quantum Biotech (QB)  
mRNA medicines are neither small molecules nor biologics which were the genesis of the biotech industry. Biotech, specifically mRNA, exploits bio-molecular and cellular processes to cultivate technologies for vaccine discovery. There are so many things one can do if one can simply create cells that produce proteins from mRNA in the body. The potential of mRNA technologies to transform areas of medicine, including infectious diseases, is immense. mRNA-based vaccines possess the promise to revolutionize the field to offer novel vaccine compositions. QB is based on quantum technology and biology. Distinguishing the game-changing nature of quantum technologies, pharma companies are assembling quantum task forces to overcome the scaling limitations of classical computational methods enabling numerical solutions to tackle the complexity of the molecular systems.
