The Dangers of Sharing Cloud Storage: The Privacy Violations Suffered by Innocent Cloud Users During the Course of Criminal Investigations in Canada and the United States
Cloud computing is generally favored for its provision of flexible on demand computingservices. This is rendered possible by its multi-tenant and elastic properties based on which variousvirtual resources, all hosted on the same physical machine and allocated based on demand, areshared among numerous users unknown to one another. Within public clouds, this infrastructureexposes users to the risk of having their data stored alongside that of criminals using the cloud tostore information relating to their illegal activities. As such, when law enforcement officers usedigital forensics to search and seize data regarding criminal activity from servers that host publicclouds, they may incidentally access the data of innocent cloud users in the process because there isno segregation between innocent users’ information and that of the individual being investigated.Using a comparative methodology, this Article argues that, while neither United States norCanadian law serves to provide a sufficient degree of protection to the private data of innocentcloud users during cloud computing forensic investigations, safeguards offered in the United Statesto this effect are somewhat more accentuated than those extended by its Canadian counterpart.This is achieved by first outlining the privacy violations that innocent cloud users may be subject tothroughout cloud criminal investigations, and then proceeding to examine the manner that the lawsapplicable to searches and seizures in each of these jurisdictions influence these incidental privacybreaches
