Abstract
Cloud forensics is a product which has evolved with the combination of digital and computer forensics. Digital evidences involved in digital crime play an important role, and when this digital crime is carried out in cloud, then it is called as cloud crime. In a crime scene where it is important to isolate the entire scenario from the surroundings in order to collect the exact data at the time of crime, but the same is a little bit difficult and a challenging task to recover the information from a cloud crime, because here the investigator is connected to various cloud resources which may or may not be under his control and this may sometime lead against the privacy issues of cloud users. In this technological era where technology is changing the lifestyles of people, trends in various sectors either related to business, education, engineering, medical, scientific, and many other such kind of areas, with this vast growth of cloud in various areas, have opened a door for the intruders to carry out their mischief tasks, which may lead to various challenges regarding data breaches various other ways which lead to the disturbance of data or resources in the cloud. In digital forensics, it is evident to collect the information from a scene where Cloud forensics is a strategic solution to all such kind of things, where it is important to prove that how the disturbance or mischief task was carried out with a proof. Cloud computing is a boon for small-scale industries, with exponential growth of technology and the resources being required for the establishment of small-scale industries, and being very cost-effective which they are not affordable for such cases, cloud computing provides the resources to these industries so that they can even withstand the tough competition among themselves as well as from the big established companies. These things made the popularity of Cloud along with efficient and effective computing paradigm made cloud computing a popular thing.
