CHALLENGES OF CLOUD FORENSICS

• The storage system is no longer local and may violate jurisdictional

law.

• Each cloud server contains files from many tenants.
• Even when data from a particular suspect is identified, it is difficult to

distinguish it from his data from other tenants.

• Recovery of deleted data poses problems.

• There is usually no evidence outside of the cloud service provider that

a particular file is linked to a particular suspect. In digital forensics,

it is difficult to identify information, and if it cannot be identified, it
is difficult to acquire it, and without acquisition, there is no analysis.
