Abstract

Cloud computing is an important paradigm of information technology that entirely depends upon virtualization technique. Multi-tenancy is one of the most important characteristic and it is applicable in all deployment models. Another significant feature of cloud is its distributed nature which includes jurisdictions of various geographical areas. Due to these two characteristics, it is a complex and tedious task to collect data, proof and evidences in cloud whenever compared with traditional digital forensic. New mechanisms and frameworks are required to apply digital forensic techniques in cloud computing environment. In this research paper, an effort has been made to expound prominent techniques that can be applied to perform digital forensic analysis and investigation in cloud computing environment.
