Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: In digital forensics investigations, the system time of computing resources can provide critical information to implicate or exonerate a suspect. In clouds, alteration of the system time of a virtual machine (VM) or a cloud host machine can provide unreliable time information, which in turn can mislead an investigation in the wrong direction. ,  propose Chronos1 to secure the system time of cloud hosts and VMs in an untrusted cloud environment. Since it is not possible to prevent a malicious user or a dishonest insider of a cloud provider from altering the system time of a VM or a host machine,  propose a tamper-evident scheme to detect this malicious behavior at the time of investigation.  integrate Chronos with an open-source cloud platform -- OpenStack and evaluate the feasibility of Chronos while running 20 VMs on a single host machine. Our test results suggest that Chronos can be easily deployed in the existing cloud with very low overheads, while achieving a high degree of trustworthiness of the system time of the cloud hosts and VMs.
