Abstract: Nowadays, Mobile Cloud forensics is the buzzword in the IT market. Everyone is having mobile devices and having his/her crucial data on it. People data is targeted by the hackers to steal the vital information. Mobile devices have limited processing capacity, battery life and storage. But, the cloud computing technology enables the users with indefinite computing resources. Mobile users avail the cloud facilities provided by MCC service provider using SMDs and are charged only on the basis of how much resource they utilize in the cloud (pay-as-you-go). This paper insights an overview of mobile and discuss various challenges faced by the investigators.
