Abstract:

Cloud computing presents many promising technological and economical opportunities, however, it can pose a challenge for cybercrime investigation and digital forensics. Therefore, there is an urgent need to extend the applications of investigation processes in the Cloud. In this paper, we present the definition of cloud computing and its various models. Further we compare traditional forensic investigations and forensic investigations in cloud and analyze the challenges of forensic investigations in cloud environments.
