摘要：

The rise of cloud computing has changed the way computing services and resources are used. However, existing digital forensics science cannot cope with the black-box nature of clouds nor with multi-tenant cloud models. Because of the fundamental characteristics of clouds, many assumptions of digital forensics are invalidated in clouds. In the digital forensics process involving clouds, the role of cloud service providers (CSP) is utterly important, a role which needs to be considered in the science of cloud forensics. In this paper, we define cloud forensics considering the role of the CSP and propose the Open Cloud Forensics (OCF) model. Based on this OCF model, we propose a cloud computing architecture and validate our proposed model using a case study, which is inspired from an actual civil lawsuit.
