Challenges of Cloud Log Forensics

Abstract

The forensics1 investigation of cloud computing is faced by many obstacles originating from the complex integration of technologies used to build the cloud and its sheer size. In this research we aim to provide an insight into cloud computing log forensics, as logs are an important source of forensic evidence in the cloud. This is followed with conclusions regarding the issues faced by researchers in log forensics in cloud computing that will aid the research process.
