Abstract
As an indispensable branch of cloud computing, cloud storage enables individuals and organizations to enjoy large-scale and distributed storage capability in a multi-tenant service pattern. However, there is still a serious lack of mutual trust between the users and cloud service providers, since both of them can perform dishonest and malicious operational behaviors on cloud data. Secure audit for operational behaviors is vital for cloud forensic investigation, which collects and offers essential audit logs for a forensic investigator to track security incidents and accountability determination. Such an auditing service can help to achieve better security assurances within the whole life cycle of cloud data. In this paper, we present an auditing mode for operational behaviors in cloud storage, introduce the open issues in two main phases, log audit and forensic investigation, and discuss the future trends.
