Paper Details

Cloud computing has emerged as a preferred computing paradigm these days. Existing cloud computingarchitectures usually lack support for forensics investigations. Analyzing different types of logs (e.g.application logs,network logs) and logging mechanism plays a vital role in forensic investigation. Storing and collecting logs from thecloud is very hard due to its multi-user whom shares the identical process and network resources.Useful data stored inUser activity logs is proved to be usful in forensic investigations; keeping logs intact and trustworthy is crucial.In suchenvironment providing secure logging system which maintains confindetiality, availability, and privacy so that it willhelpful in investigation is challenging. Even different attacks and malicious behaviors can be detected by analyzinglogs in the log file. The aim of this paper is to study different logging mechanisms in the existing literature which aredesigned for the cloud model and helps in forensic investigations.
