Researchers Keyun Ruan et. al say " Cloud computing may well become one of the most transformative technologies in the history of computing. Cloud service providers and customers have yet to establish adequate forensic capabilities that could support investigations of criminal activities in the cloud. This paper discusses the emerging area of cloud forensics, and highlights its challenges and opportunities."
Cloud forensics is a cross discipline of cloud computing and digital forensics. Cloud computing is a shared collection of configurable networked resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be reconfigured quickly with minimal effort [12]. Digital forensics is the application of computer science principles to recover electronic evidence for presentation in a court of law [10]. Cloud forensics is a subset of network forensics. Network forensics deals with forensic investigations of networks. Cloud computing is based on broad network access. Therefore, cloud forensics follows the main phases of network forensics with techniques tailored to cloud computing environments. Cloud computing. For complete research paper see here
