Cloud computing environments add an inherent layer of complication to a digital forensic investigation. The content of this article explores current forensic acquisition processes, how current processes need to be modified for cloud investigations, and what new acquisition methods can help when it is necessary to garner evidence from a cloud computing-based environment. A section will be included that provides a recommendation on how to acquire evidence from cloud-based environments while maintaining chain of custody. A final section will include recommendations for additional areas of research in the area of investigating cloud computing environments and acquiring cloud computing-based evidence.

Business Objective

One of the most popular computing technologies is cloud computing. There are many benefits in adopting cloud computing such as high-performance, flexibility and availability on-demand, more focused on the business objective and low-cost. However, the characteristics of the cloud computing environment have created many difficulties and challenges for digital forensic investigation processes. Therefore, this paper focuses on the digital forensic investigation challenges based on cloud computing characteristics.

Digital Forensic

Basically cloud computing security is essential nowadays, it has arisen as a technology to allow users as well as clients to access communications, data storage, software as well as exploitation Environment according to pay-as-what-use structure. Conventional digital forensic can’t be investigated due to some technical challenges like environmental as well as technical. The vibrant nature of cloud computing provides massive opportunities to identify malicious request using various security algorithms in cloud environment. Proposed research work identifies the current issues and provides solutions to reduce some challenges in the cloud environment. In this paper system proposed forensic investigation of cloud security for trusted and untrusted environments. System illustrated the various machine learning algorithms for eliminate the malicious request, and investigate the malicious user also. Proposed method generate the user log base snapshot during the active session and manual investigator can verify all logs and identify the malicious user. We offer a skilled technique for forensic examination in the cloud with the help of virtual machine (VM) and generate snapshots. The experimental analysis shows illustration of proposed security of system.

As If

In this paper we collect and observes the existing digital forensic investigation models, which are essentially the application of information systems and communications engineering for forensic purposes. In addition, a review of the federal criminal situation in Mexico is presented (through the revision of the regulations in the Federal Criminal Code), because the Code indirectly describes the reality of what can be prosecuted and admitted as evidence, criminally speaking, with the application of digital forensic investigation models in Mexico. This is due to the significant deficiency in the proposal of digital forensic investigation models, in which there is not enough emphasis on the potential admissibility of the evidence gathered through the models, to give attention to the need to provide “evidence” to Institutions responsible for the impartation of justice, as if doing digital forensic investigation to be a technological issue and not as it really is: a socio-legal-technological issue. Therefore, considering the criminal reality in Mexico, locating the practices of existing models that make sense in accordance with the norm, an abbreviated model is proposed that really helps successful prosecutions.

Control And Management

Cloud computing is a rapidly evolving information technology (IT) phenomenon. Rather than procure, deploy, and manage a physical IT infrastructure to host their software applications, organizations are increasingly deploying their infrastructure into remote, virtualized environments, often hosted and managed by third parties. This development has significant implications for digital forensic investigators, equipment vendors, law enforcement, as well as corporate compliance and audit departments, amongst other organizations. Much of digital forensic practice assumes careful control and management of IT assets (particularly data storage) during the conduct of an investigation. This paper summarises the key aspects of cloud computing and analyses how established digital forensic procedures will be invalidated in this new environment, as well as discussing and identifying several new research challenges addressing this changing context.
