Towards a Systematic Analysis of Challenges and Issues in Secure Mobile Cloud Forensics

Though mobile cloud computing has become popular to mitigate the problem of low computing and storage resources of mobile devices, this has also brought new security challenges especially in the case of digital forensics. In this paper, we systematically analyze the mobile cloud forensics problem and explore the challenges and issues of this new branch of digital forensics. We also identify the requirements and propose a model to support reliable forensic investigations in the mobile cloud.
