Abstract
Recently, due to the development of broadband, there is a significant increase in utilizing on-demand Saas (Software as a Service) which takes advantage of the technology. Nevertheless, the academic and practical levels of digital forensics have not yet been established in cloud computing environment. In addition, the data of user behavior is not likely to be stored on the local system. The relevant data may be stored across the various remote servers. Therefore, the investigators may encounter some problems in performing digital forensics in cloud computing environment. it is important to analysis History files, Cookie files, Temporary Internet Files, physical memory, etc. in a viewpoint of client, since the SaaS basically uses the web to connects the internet service. In this paper, we propose the method that analysis the usuage trace of the Saas which is the one of the most popular cloud computing services.
