Abstract

In order to arm yourself and assess risk correctly in the cloud, carrying out investigations are necessary. Though Cloud Computing is the buzzing technology now a days, with the advent with which cloud computing is developing and providing solutions to the upcoming technologies where on the other side of it there also lies a down fall with respect to theft of data in the cloud, loss of data in the cloud which are related to forensic, these things create an distrustful relation between cloud user and cloud providers, during the past half decade cloud forensic has emerged as a challenging point that has to be solved in cloud computing, the prevailing existing solutions which were suggested at the initial stage of Cloud Forensics were satisfied at that time but those solutions cannot rule now also, due to which they are not up to the mark to give much satisfaction which there by strengthen the faith of users in cloud, and makes Cloud Service Providers to provide the services and make a path to be laid for the coming technologies to utilize the flavors of cloud computing. This paper inculcates the contents related to cloud forensic which are traced out which are being known, to be known. In this paper we have traced out the major causes of Cloud Forensics, and thrown a light on the causes and origins which are helpful for laying a success ladder for Cloud Forensic concepts, and provided relevant content which would be helpful to trace out the solutions which are causing obstacles in the field of Cloud Forensics, utilizing which one can get an overview of the challenges and if considered can definitely lead to a good solution methods which if implemented in a proper way can lead to recovery of lost data as well as to know the real cause of the effect and also in order to reduce their effect.
