Abstract
Cloud computing services represent the actual computation delivery to the mostof customer communities. Such services are regulated by a contract called ServiceLevel Agreement (SLA), cosigned between customers and providers. During itsvalidity time several contractual constraints have to be respected by the involvedparties. Due to their popularity, cloud services are enormously used and unfortunatelyalso abused, especially by cyber-criminals. A manner for guaranteeing andenhancing cloud service security is the provisioning of a forensic readiness capabilityto them. Such a capability is responsible to perform some activities aimed toprepare the services for a possible forensic investigation. Sometimes, the crimesare related to some contractual constraint violations without the parties are awareof. Thus, a dedicated forensic readiness capability interacting with cloud servicesand detecting the SLA violations by analysing some cloud log files can guaranteemore control on such contracts. In this dissertation, a formal model aimed torepresent a forensic readiness capability for the cloud that detects contractual violationsis presented, together with a prototype system running on a specific casestudy.
