Abstract

Digital forensics is the science of finding evidence to digital crimes and attacks. Cloud Forensics is a part of Digital Forensics that watches over the crime that has taken place over the cloud and carries out an investigation on it. Cloud computing is an evolutionary technology based on a huge network, which spreads globally. Hence, Cloud Forensics is a part of Network Forensics, which in turn is a part of Digital Forensics. Cloud organizations along with the providers of cloud service and customers that uses cloud service, are still awaiting the establishment of an explicit forensic revolution. Without the much-needed forensic capability, they will not be able to safeguard the robustness of their system and suitability of their services that assist criminal and cybercrime investigations. In this paper, we review the forensic process, challenges in cloud forensics, and its impact on digital forensics.
