...Cyber crimes and effectiveness of laws in India to control them Under the Supervision of Dr. P.K. Rai Birendra Singh (M.Phil(CS)) Department of Computer Science APSU Rewa ABSTRACT:- India owes a lot to the exponential growth of the Information Technology service Industry over the last 15 years. Though India got its first codified Act in the Information Technology Act (“IT Act), in the year 2000, the IT Industry and in fact all businesses with cross-border obligations have been left crying themselves hoarse for more! The Indian Legislature has now passed a mish –mash legislation in December 2008, which clearly demonstrates the appeasement policy adapted to meet the various and in some instances divergent interests of the Industry and the Government. The scope of this paper is to highlight some important provisions of the cyber criminal laws in India relating to data protection, privacy, encryption and other cyber crimes and the extent to which the said provisions arm the enforcement authorities to combat not just existing but emerging trends in Cyber Crime. INTRODUCTION:- The general laws in India were drafted and enacted in the 19th century. Whilst each of the general laws have undergone modifications and amendments, the broad and underlying provisions have withstood the test of time, including unimaginable advancements in technology, which speaks to the dynamism of the General laws. The general laws referred to in this Article are the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (“IPC”), which...

...The Role of Federal Agencies in Fighting Digital Crime Abstract The United States of America is the most connected and technologically advanced country in the world. The genius of our electrical engineers, computer scientists, and technology companies has helped to change the way that the world does business, made our daily lives safer and more enjoyable, and brought the world closer together. Albeit, these are remarkable innovations, but they have unfortunately given criminals, terrorists, and hostile states new opportunities to steal American property, disrupt our way of life, and compromise our National security. This paper will attempt to show the roles and challenges of law enforcement agencies such as the Secret Service, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and others that have taken on roles to fight computer crimes and terrorism. This paper will also discuss how the U.S. could align the efforts of these agencies to better protect the nation against digital crimes and terrorism.

What is exactly cybercrime? According to the book Scene of the Cybercrime author Michael Cross defines it as a broad and generic term that refers to crimes committed using computers and the Internet, and can generally be defined as a subcategory of computer crime. It can be also said that cybercrime can lead to criminal offenses committed using the internet or another computer network as a tool of the crime (Cross, 2008). According to the Computer Security Institute's Computer Crime and Security Survey for 2007, 494 computer security professionals in the United States corporations, government agencies, universities, and financial medical institutions reported that computer fraud was the greatest source of financial losses, with losses resulting from virus attacks falling into second place for the first time in seven years. In addition to this, 29 percent of the organizations suffered a computer intrusion that they reported to law enforcement (www.gocsi.com). According to the Cyber snitch Voluntary Online Crime Reporting System, the most reported Internet related crime is child pornography, with other crimes ranging from desktop forgery to such potentially violent crimes as electronic stalking and terrorist threats.

There is a need for use of semantic analysis to discover underlying security policy requirements and internal power structures and institutionalization of anti cyber attack, antimoney-laundering and regulatory schemes. The first responders to cyber security incidents often than always are an organization ICT personnel who are technically sound though may be deficient in investigative skill. The scientific standards of cyber forensics dictates the procedure as it promotes objectivity, a precise and well documented analysis, particularly that the findings maybe used as evidence against the attacker.

...Cyber Crime and Security Submitted by: ABSTRACT : Society is becoming more dependent upon data and networks to operate our businesses, government, national defense and other critical functions. Cybercrime, which is rapidly increasing in frequency and in severity, requires us to rethink how we should enforce our criminal laws. The current model of reactive, police-based enforcement, with its origins in real-world urbanization, does not and cannot protect society from criminals using computer technology. This paper gives detailed information regarding cybercrime, its types, modes of cyber crime and security measures including prevention to deal effectively with cybercrime. It demonstrates a need for a timely review of existing approaches to fighting this new phenomenon of cybercrime in the information age. Though it is not possible to remove Cyber Crime from the world but we can reduce it to a large extent by creating awareness in Society. We suggest a system of administrative regulation backed by criminal sanctions that will provide the incentives necessary to create a workable deterrent to cybercrime. Index: 1. Introduction 2. Types of Cyber Crimes 3. Cyber Criminals 4. Mode of Cyber Crimes 5. Security 6. Case Study 7. Conclusion 8.

... Date Law Enforcement Challenges In the world today, enhanced technology has come to permeate every aspect of life. Technology molds how people interact, how banking services are provided and even how crimes are committed. Cyber crimes have developed in volume and substance over the years, and this has posed a great challenge, especially to law enforcement agencies. This paper seeks to give a detailed explanation of the utmost challenges facing the jurisdiction systems against cyber crime, as well as the possible solutions to these challenges. Challenge facing law enforcement agencies investigating exploitation, cyber stalking and obscenity Jurisdictional issues, as well as, determining who the online crime perpetrators are remains to be the greatest challenge the Law enforcement agencies face. Before arresting any suspect, law enforcers need to determine who the criminal is and his or her location. Determining this has become increasingly difficult over the years because it is extremely easy, and cheap, for individuals to hide their identities online due to the countless services that allow users to mask their IP addresses freely. Besides, some crimes such as obscenity are difficult to determine before making an arrest because of their nature. For instance, it is almost impossible to determine whether an individual charged with child pornography content downloaded the material intentionally or not. This difficulty...
