The design and implementation of cloud services, without taking under consideration the forensic requirements and the investigation process, makes the acquisition and examination of data, complex and demanding. The evidence gathered from the cloud may not become acceptable and admissible in the court. A literature gap in supporting software enginee...

Cloud computing is used by consumers to access cloud services. Malicious actors exploit vulnerabilities of cloud services to attack consumers. The link between these two assumptions is the cloud service. Although cloud forensics assists in the direction of investigating and solving cloud-based cyber-crimes, in many cases the design and implementati...

Cloud forensics assist investigators on solving cloud-based cyber-crimes. Alt-hough investigators use forensic methods and tools to cope with incidents, there are other aspects that put barriers to the whole investigation process. One of these aspects is the way cloud services are designed and implemented. Software engi-neers are responsible for th...

In recent years, cloud computing has gained popularity, and it is now used to support various areas of human life. Cloud forensics has been introduced to help forensic investigators find potential evidence against cloud criminal activities and maintain the security and integrity of the information stored in the cloud. While great research in the ar...

One of the most important challenges for software engineers is the design and implementation of trustworthy cloud services. Information system designers face an important issue, the design of cloud forensic-enabled systems that could assist investigators solving cloud-based cyber-crimes. Although digital forensics assists on this direction, limited...

Cloud forensics introduce processes for resolving incidents occurring in cloud computing environments. However, designing cloud services capable to assist a cloud investigation process is of vital importance and recent research efforts concentrate on these directions. In addition, digital forensics methods cannot support a cloud investigation since...

Cloud Computing technology and services despite the advantages they bring to the market have created number of issues regarding the security and trust of the individuals using them. Incidents occurring in cloud computing environments are hard to be solved since digital forensic methods used to conduct digital investigations are not suitable for clo...

One of the most important areas in the developing field of cloud computing is the way that investigators conduct researches in order to reveal the ways that a digital crime took place over the cloud. This area is known as cloud forensics. While great research on digital forensics has been carried out, the current digital forensic models and framewo...

Cloud computing technology attracted many Internet users and organizations the past few years and has become one of the hottest topics in IT. However, due to the newly appeared threats and challenges arisen in cloud computing, current methodologies and techniques are not designed for assisting the respective foren-sic processes in cloud environment...
