Research Area: Digital Forensics
In recent years, the smartphone has become a powerful miniature computer owing to its computing power, portability, and flexibility. The integration of smartphone and cloud computing technology offers significant benefits and expand the capabilities of smartphones to support applications that demand high computational resources. However, the proliferation of popular technologies increases potential opportunity for misuse and illegal activities. Thus, the advancement of forensic research is inevitable to cope with the recent developments in mobile cloud platforms. The adoption of forensic methodologies to the mobile cloud investigation is still in its infancy stage. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) offers unique challenges compared to traditional digital forensics due to its ubiquitous nature. In this research work authors have emphasized on various solutions available for mobile cloud forensics. Authors have analyzed and discussed the scope and possibilities regarding legal implications towards forensic analysis in MCC, potential challenges, and its countermeasures.
