Abstract

In this paper, researchers provide a preliminary analysis on the forensic implications of cloud computing reference architecture, on the segregation of duties of cloud actors in cloud investigations, forensic artifacts on all layers of cloud system stack, cloud actors interaction scenarios in cloud investigations, and forensic implications of all cloud deployment models. The analysis serves as feedback and input for integrating forensic considerations into cloud standardization processes from early stage, and specifies requirements and directions for further standardization efforts.
