Survey on Cloud Forensics and Critical Criteria for Cloud Forensic Capability: A Preliminary Analysis

In this paper we present the current results and analysis of the survey “Cloud forensics and critical criteria for cloud forensic capability” carried out towards digital forensic experts and practitioners. This survey was created in order to gain a better understanding on some of the key questions of the new field - cloud forensics - before further research and development. We aim to understand concepts such as its definition, the most challenging issues, most valuable research directions, and the critical criteria for cloud forensic capability

Key Terms for Service Level Agreements to Support Cloud Forensics

Part 4: CLOUD FORENSICSInternational audienceAs cloud adoption grows, the importance of preparing for forensic investigations in cloud environments also grows. A recent survey of digital forensic professionals identified that missing terms and conditions regarding forensic activities in service level agreements between cloud providers and cloud consumers is a significant challenge for cloud forensics. This paper addresses the challenge by specifying standard terms for service level agreements that support cloud forensics

Approximation operators, binary relation and basis algebra in L-fuzzy rough sets

Approximation operators play a vital role in rough set theory. Their three elements, namely, binary relation in the universe, basis algebra and properties, are fundamental in the study of approximation operators. In this paper, the interrelations among the three elements of approximation operators in L-fuzzy rough sets are discussed under the constructive approach, the axiomatic approach and the basis algebra choosing approach respectively. In the constructive approach, the properties of the approximation operators depend on the basis algebra and the binary relation. In the axiomatic approach, the induced binary relation is influenced by the axiom set and the basis algebra. In the basis algebra choosing approach, the basis algebra is constructed by properties of approximation operators and specific binary relations
