ABSTRACT
Cloud computing is an Internet based computing paradigm that delivers on-demand software and hardware computing capability as a "service" where the consumer is completely abstracted from the computing resources. These services are provided by means of virtualization. As virtualization provides many benefits, it also makes it difficult to detect digital evidence when it is in cloud environment. This paper emphasizes on finding and analyzing digital evidence in virtualized environment for cloud computing using traditional digital forensic analysis techniques.
