Pervasive Forensic Analysis Based on Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing has become one of mobile's hottest topics. Moving computing processing and data storage away from mobile devices and into large data centers, mobile applications enable the users to improve productivity, to share data and to collaborate with others. Considering the benefits of mobile cloud computing, the forensic service based on mobile cloud computing could be good solution to the problems today's forensic tools are facing. Therefore, this paper introduces a service concept called 'Forensic Cloud' to develop new paradigm in digital forensics. Furthermore, in order to show the feasibility of the concept, the paper suggests a technology framework for forensic analysis based on mobile cloud and describe current status of its development.
