Investigation Process

Chain of custody plays an important role in determine integrity of digital evidence, because the chain of custody works on a proof that evidence has not been altered or changed through all phases, and must include documentation on how evidence is gathered, transported, analyzed and presented. The aims of this work is first to find out how the chain of custody has been applied to a wide range of models of the digital forensic investigation process for more than ten years. Second, a review of the methods on digitally signing an evidence that achieves the successful implementation of chain of custody through answering a few questions "who, when, where, why, what and how", and thus providing digital evidence to be accepted by the court. Based on the defined aims an experimental environment is being setup to outline practically an acceptable method in chain of custody procedure. Therefore, we have adopted SHA512 for hashing and regarding encryption RSA and GnuGP is applied where according to the defined requirement a combination of this algorithms could be adopted as a practical method.

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.
