Current security and privacy challenges in cloud environment have led to distaste some users and organizations to apply cloud instead of traditional infrastructures. Although many prevention efforts and acts are performed in current network architectures, detection and tracing of the attacker is necessary after the event is occurred. But current architecture of cloud computing does not satisfy the cloud forensics needs. Therefore, in this field the cloud forensic investigation have many different challenges. Regarding the low cost and high performance services of cloud computing, for the sake of security issues it can never be ignored. So far several solutions have been proposed regardingcloud’s security issues based on dynamic and elastic nature of cloud computing and legal issues. The main goal of this survey is to classify and and explore the cloud forensics issues and challenges. %> http://monadi.isc.org.ir/article-1-24-en.pdf %P 59-79 %& 59 %! %9 Review Article %L A-10-39-2 %+ %G eng %@ 2476-3047 %[ 2014
