Abstract:
Cloud Computing is emerging amongst all the bombilate words of acclivitous technologies as the most prodigious maturations in the chronicles of computing. As it still takes time to settle, a new egressing challenge as felt whilst its implementation across has been a relatively more newfangled field known as Cloud Forensics. Today as Cloud still needs time to mature and offer its full exploitation, the even newer subfield Cloud Forensics is a carking cause to negate immediate acceptance of cloud computing with open arms. The research in this field is still in parturient stages to say from perspective of the way cases and incidents are being handled on ground today.
To bring out few key pertinent issues that immediately come to the fore include Distributed storage instead of the traditional Local storage which was easy to confiscate by the forensic team or we take the issue of shared storage in a multi user environment that may be hired on a time bound deal by the user from the CSP[1] or even if a particular user associated with data location is identified, secerning it from other users is never going to be easy owing to confidentiality and privacy issues!!!
In this paper we discuss and build upon the challenges as available today to the forensics industry focused on growing Clouds.
