The present paper has proposed a model to show that a synergy of technology and legal procedure can work as deterrent to cybercrime. The fraudulent activities the model considers are of two types. The first one is the case when the processed information gets diverted to reach someone else rather than reaching its targeted destination, thereby creating an incidence of data theft and hacking. The second one is a case of already hacked situation. The model has established that in the present-day context, synergic efforts of technology and legal provisioning can emerge as an effective option to ensure cyber security to some significant extent. The application of the proposed model in practical field is also illustrated with the analysis of a case of cybercrime.

The Moment

‘Cybercrime’ is an umbrella concept used by criminologists to refer to traditional crimes that are enhanced via the use of networked technologies (i.e. cyber-enabled crimes) and newer forms of crime that would not exist without networked technologies (i.e. cyber-dependent crimes). Cybersecurity is similarly a very broad concept and diverse field of practice. For computer scientists, the term ‘cybersecurity’ typically refers to policies, processes and practices undertaken to protect data, networks and systems from unauthorised access. Cybersecurity is used in subnational, national and transnational contexts to capture an increasingly diverse array of threats. Increasingly, cybercrimes are presented as threats to cybersecurity, which explains why national security institutions are gradually becoming involved in cybercrime control and prevention activities. This paper argues that the fields of cyber-criminology and cybersecurity, which are segregated at the moment, are in much need of greater engagement and cross-fertilisation. We draw on concepts of ‘high’ and ‘low’ policing ( Brodeur, 2010 ) to suggest it would be useful to consider ‘crime’ and ‘security’ on the same continuum. This continuum has cybercrime at one end and cybersecurity at the other, with crime being more the domain of ‘low’ policing while security, as conceptualised in the context of specific cybersecurity projects, falls under the responsibility of ‘high’ policing institutions. This unifying approach helps us to explore the fuzzy relationship between cyber- crime and cyber- security and to call for more fruitful alliances between cybercrime and cybersecurity researchers.

Cybersecurity is the practice of making the networks that constitute cyber space secure against intrusions. The aim is to maintain the confidentiality, the availability and integrity of information, by detecting interferences. Traditionally, cybersecurity has focused on preventing intrusions and monitoring ports. The evolving threat landscape, however, calls for a more dynamic approach. It is increasingly clear that total cybersecurity is impossible, unless government develops a cyber-security strategy. The aim of this chapter is to discuss government's dynamic approach to addressing challenges of cybersecurity. The chapter looks at the co-ordination of cyber-security activities so as to have a coordinated approach to cyber-crime. This chapter also highlights the idea of protecting sensitive data for the public good. It is generally accepted that technology has become indispensable in modern society. Government's cybersecurity presents a unique challenge simply because of the volume of threats that agencies working for government face on a daily basis.

This research work was designed to utilize multi-level cyber crime detection and control system to provide enhanced real-time evidence to cyber crime investigators to aid them in prosecuting cyber criminals. The design was based on a robust system combining user-identity, device identity, geographical location and user activities to provide evidences to uniquely identify a cyber user and detect crimes committed. The system captures the user’s facial image and biometric finger print as mandatory login parameters in addition to username and password before granting access. The system was tested and implemented in a real time cyber security website www.ganamos.org.  The results showed that it is possible to divulge the identity of cyber users and associate their activities with the devices they use, the date, time and location of operation. These can provide real-time evidences to law enforcement agencies to track down and prosecute cyber criminals.

The Cost

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used in agriculture monitoring to improve the quality and productivity of farming. In this application, sensors gather different types of data (i.e., humidity, carbon dioxide level, and temperature) in real-time scenarios. Thus, data gathering, transmission, and rapid response to new circumstances require a secured data mechanism to avoid malicious adversaries. Therefore, this paper focuses on data security from the data origin source to the end-user, and proposes a general data security model that is independent of the network topology and structure, and can be widely used in the agriculture monitoring application. The developed model considers practical aspects, the architecture of the sensor node, as well as the necessity to save energy while ensuring data security, and optimize the model through the application of organizational and technical measures. The model evaluation is conducted through simulation in terms of energy consumption. The result shows that the proposed model ensures good data security at the cost of a slight increase in energy consumption at receiver and sender nodes, and energy consumption per bit, up to 2%, 7%, and 1.3%, respectively, due to overhead added for authentication in the network.

In the world of full of technology and digitization security is the main concern right now. With the help of internet, we can do most of our work like shopping, office work, e-banking, other transactions, etc. With mobile banking everyone knows how to do transactions, online shopping, but most of the people don’t know what the security while doing any kind of online work, people have lack of knowledge in cyber security and hacker, cyber criminals take advantage of that. According to report in 2020, the transaction volume share in India stood at 15.6 per cent and 22.9 per cent for instant payments and other electronic payments respectively, while paper-based payments had a considerable share of 61.4 per cent. And by the 2024 the electronic transaction will increase by 50% and this will touch 71.7% by 2025. India is a developing country and is moving forward in digitization. While this is happening securing the online data or transaction will become more and more challenging. E- banking makes work easier and fast but it is not safe, it will never be 100% secure. And cybercrime is increasing faster than we imagine. This study paper mainly focuses on banking frauds in India, online transaction, scenarios faced by cyber victims, e-banking challenges. It also focuses on the cyber security and how can we avoid most of the e-banking fraud.

With the rapid advancements in technology, our lives have become completely digitalised. We sit in the comfort of our home, and carry out our day-to-day activities like grocery shopping, education, banking, through the Internet. However, this has given rise to several threats to our security, called the cyber-crime which has become a global concern. Cybercrimes affect the lives of millions of people all around the world, including businesses, organisations and governments of different nations. This paper aims to determine the association between cybercrime awareness and the age, and to identify the difference between main cause of cybercrime and the gender. Descriptive research has been carried out which helps us to understand the characteristics of an individual or a group. The sampling method used here is convenient sampling where the samples have been chosen based on ease of access of availability. The sample size is 1540. Age, Gender and Occupation are the independent variables. Cyber-crime awareness, the main cause of cybercrime and the most popular cyber-crime are the dependent variables used here. The tools used here are Chi-Square, Independent Sample t test and ANOVA. It was found that there is a significant association between the cyber-crime awareness and the age of the respondent and that there is no significant difference between the main cause of cyber-crime and gender. With the rapid rise in the rate of cyber-crimes, it is imperative that the government provide the people with more effective ways of cyber security in order to protect the society.
