Title
Finite state machine for cloud forensic readiness as a service (CFRaaS) events
Abstract
The importance of demonstrating the correctness of forensic analysis tools and automated incident management tools reinforces the need for a finite state machine (FSM) engine that can generate automated forensic processes. Hence, in this paper, we present an event-based FSM representation for Cloud Forensic Readiness as a Service (CFRaaS), where we also show how the FSM's predetermined states and transitions could be used to formulate an automated forensic process and generate a hypothesis for litigation purposes. Specifically, this proposition comprises a two-step level CFRaaS-FSM with possible transitions and states. This representation is useful because it can alert digital forensic investigators on how to deduce current and next state of attacks based on transitions and current states.
