Abstract | Cloud computing is cutting-edge platform in this information age, where organizations are shifting their business due to its elasticity, ubiquity, cost-effectiveness. Unfortunately the cyber criminals has used these characteristics for the criminal activities and victimizing multiple users at the same time, by their single exploitation which was impossible in before. Cloud forensics is a special branch of digital forensics, which aims to find the evidences of the exploitation in order to present these evidences in the court of law and bring the culprit to accountability. Collection of evidences in the cloud is not as simple as the traditional digital forensics because of its complex distributed architecture which is scattered globally. In this paper, various issues and challenges in the field of cloud forensics research and their proposed solutions have been critically reviewed, summarized and presented. |
