Abstract

Contrasting to traditional digital forensic investigations, investigating cloud crimes is considered as more difficult and complex process. The architecture of cloud computing is behind the complexity of conducting forensic investigation on cloud where data are synchronized and accessed using multiple and different devices in different places that reduce the chance to find a real device to seize for forensics investigation. There are a number of challenges in forensic investigation field faced by investigators which may complicate the way of conducting cloud forensic investigations to extract evidences. This research is studying the complexity of cloud architecture and how it affects digital investigations by addressing a number of challenges on conducting cloud forensic investigation.
