Digital Forensics Analysis in the Distributed Data Environment

Abstract

The rate of cybercrime has increased because of the extensive use of the internet-enabled technologies. Due to the data storage of distributed services and the location of data servers in various countries, establishing methods to track the records of cyber crimes are quite difficult. The major problem in the current scenario is the legal compliance such as jurisdiction of the data servers located in various continents. The cloud servers are normally distributed all over the world to prevent the data loss due to natural disasters etc. and it is very difficult to get the details of the various events happening at different places. This paper examines the research works of various researchers on tiered approach of cyber forensic in distributed environment. This paper analyses the identification mechanisms for various types of cybercrimes and control measures of government rules and regulations to control cybercrimes. This paper reviews the cyber security problems arise due to the ongoing establishment of IoT based network and the implementation of smart cities.
