In a unique and systematic way, this book discusses the security and privacy aspects of the cloud, and the relevant cloud forensics.

Cloud computing is an emerging yet revolutionary technology that has been changing the way people live and work. However, with the continuous growth of cloud computing and related services, security and privacy has become a critical issue. Written by some of the top experts in the field, this book specifically discusses security and privacy of the cloud, as well as the digital forensics of cloud data, applications, and services. The first half of the book enables readers to have a comprehensive understanding and background of cloud security, which will help them through the digital investigation guidance and recommendations found in the second half of the book.

Part One of Security, Privacy and Digital Forensics in the Cloud covers cloud infrastructure security; confidentiality of data; access control in cloud IaaS; cloud security and privacy management; hacking and countermeasures; risk management and disaster recovery; auditing and compliance; and security as a service (SaaS). Part Two addresses cloud forensics – model, challenges, and approaches; cyberterrorism in the cloud; digital forensic process and model in the cloud; data acquisition; digital evidence management, presentation, and court preparation; analysis of digital evidence; and forensics as a service (FaaS).

Security, Privacy and Digital Forensics in the Cloud is an ideal book for advanced undergraduate and master''s-level students in information systems, information technology, computer and network forensics, as well as computer science. It can also serve as a good reference book for security professionals, digital forensics practitioners and cloud service providers.

Adopting an experimental learning approach, this book describes a practical forensic process to acquire and analyze databases from a given device and/or application. Databases hold important, sensitive, and/or confidential information and are a crucial source of evidence in any digital investigation. This also reinforces the importance of keeping up to date on the cyber-threat landscape as well as any associated database forensic challenges and approaches. The book also guides cyber-forensic researchers, educators, and practitioners through the process of conducting database forensics and investigations on mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, web browsers, and end-to-end encrypted instant messaging applications. Given the fast-changing database forensics landscape, this book will be of interest to researchers, educators, and practitioners in the field, as well as students who want to learn about the database investigation.

This book presents selected papers from the 13th International Conference on Information Technology and its Applications (CITA 2024) which took place on July 19–20, 2024. The 13th CITA will be hosted by the Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology (VKU), a member of University of Danang, with the supports of the researching and training institutions belonging to ASEAN Consortium for Innovation and Research (ACIR) as well as Vietnam ICT Association of Faculties-Institutes-School-Universities (FISU Vietnam). The conference will take place in Da Nang City and Hoi An City which are beautiful and livable cities in Vietnam.All papers submitted to CITA 2024 are reviewed seriously, closely, and thoroughly by 02-04 reviewers with appropriate expertise, with professional advice from reputable scientists in the fields of information and communication technology. Over the past 13 years of establishment and development, CITA has become an international scientific conference with a prestigious brand in the scientific community not only in Vietnam but also around the world in the field of ICT and digital economy. For this edition of the conference, we have received in total 173 papers whose authors come from over 25 countries around the world. Only 43 papers of the highest quality were selected for oral presentation and publication in this LNNS volume. The average rate of papers accepted by this volume is about 25%. Papers included in these proceedings cover the following topics: data science and artificial intelligence, image and natural language processing, software engineering and information system, network and communications, and digital economy. The accepted and presented papers focus on new trends and challenges facing information technology and its applications. The presenters show how research works can stimulate novel and innovative applications. We hope that you find these results useful and inspiring for your future research work.
