Abstract:

Recent attacks on the cloud environment highlights the necessity for conducting forensic investigations. But performing forensics in the cloud is different from traditional environment. Conforming the same, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) listed more than 65 challenges for cloud forensics. Even though cloud is a XaaS provider, Forensics-as-a-Service was not included in that list. There are various technical, organizational and legal reasons for it. But, performing investigation in the cloud environment is practically possible only if support from the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) is made available. Our proposed model-FaaSeC can extend the forensic support from CSP and make CSP to provide Forensics-as-a-Service (FaaS) to the investigator.
