“…Several security approaches are taken into account to mitigate these kinds of threats and ensure protection to the resources of cloud so that it's potential can be exploited to the fullest. Cloud forensics [9][10][11][12] [ [15][16][17][18] is such an approach that attempts to investigate as well as analyze cloud security threats. It plays the role of a deterrent, improving security and reducing network crime rate.…”

Amongst all recently emerging research paradigms, Cloud Computing is very much significant due to its utility services provisioning with shared and virtualized resources. Cloud is going to provide Everything-as-a-Service (EaaS) in very near future because all the services (Infrastructure, Platform, Software) will be made available as and when required and that too with high flexibility and low cost. Consumers can avail all the services without investing for infrastructures. There lies the spark of it which attracts the cloud attackers to get indulged in malicious activities and this creates a threat for this technology. Cloud Forensics is a new outlook introduced to identify, analyze and investigate these security threats. This paper insights a better awareness about cloud forensics illustrating all its related technical aspects, few of the suggested architectures and thus it identifies the major research scopes and challenges as well so that Cloud technology can be made secure from various threats and attacks.

“…Computer Forensics is the science of identifying, extracting preserving, and presenting the digital evidence stored in digital devices that can be legally admissible in court for any cybercrime or fraudulent [6]. In other words, finding out facts, records, and digital trails can be legally admissible in the court for criminal prosecution [7].…”

Cloud computing is an emerging technology that is being widely adopted throughout the world due to its ease-of-use. Organizations of all types can use it without prerequisites such as IT infrastructure, technical skills, managerial overload, storage capacity, processing power, and data recovery or privacy setup. It can be availed by all clients as per their needs, expectations and budget. However, cloud computing introduces new kinds of security vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. Traditional "Computer Forensics" deals with detection, preemption and prevention of IT triggered frauds and crimes but it lacks the ability to deal with cybercrimes pertaining to cloud computing environment. In this paper, we focus on forensics issues in cloud computing, assess limitations of forensic team and present the obstacles faced during investigation.

SummaryAs a new development in digital forensics, cloud forensics (CF) is being utilized to combat cyber‐crimes. Nevertheless, the centralized compilation and preservation of evidence lessen the reliability of digital evidence. Also, the Cloud environment faces the challenge of securing the Provenance Information (PI) without being forged or tampered with, by either an internal or an external party. In the existing works, the researchers have made several attempts to trounce the issues of CF investigation but still, those issues have not been eliminated. Thus, by employing modified elliptic curve cryptography (MECC), an enhanced CF investigation system (CFIS) grounded on a centralized cloud provenance (CCP) system has been proposed to surpass such issues. For encrypting the data for a user and to securely upload and download the data, the MECC was proposed. For producing the group key, SHA‐512 was wielded. The proposed system's performance, when appraised, was found to exhibit enhanced performance against the prevailing methodologies.
