Abstract:

Cloud computing is becoming the developing trend in the information field. It causes many transforms in the related fields. In order to adapt such changes, computer forensics is bound to improve and integrate into the new environment. This paper stands on this point, suggests a computer forensic service framework which is based on security architecture of cloud computing and requirements needed by cloud computing environment. The framework introduces honey farm technique, and pays more attention on active forensics, which can improve case handling efficiency and reduce the cost.

Key words:  cloud computing  computer forensics  security architecture  honey farm
