This volume provides an overview of cyber economic crime in India,
analyzing fifteen years of data and specific case studies from
Mumbai to add to the limited research in cyber economic crime
detection. Centering around an integrated victim-centered approach
to investigating a global crime on the local level, the book
examines the criminal justice system response to cyber economic
crime and proposes new methods of detection and prevention. It
considers the threat from a national security perspective, a
cybercrime perspective, and as a technical threat to business and
technology installations. Among the topics discussed: Changing
landscape of crime in cyberspace Cybercrime typology Legal
framework for cyber economic crime in India Cyber security
mechanisms in India A valuable resource for law enforcement and
police working on the local, national, and global level in the
detection and prevention of cybercrime, Cyber Economic Crime in
India will also be of interest to researchers and practitioners
working in financial crimes and white collar crime.
This handbook provides a comprehensive treatise of the concepts and
nature of technology-facilitated gendered violence and abuse, as
well as legal, community and activist responses to these harms. It
offers an inclusive and intersectional treatment of gendered
violence including that experienced by gender, sexuality and
racially diverse victim-survivors. It examines the types of
gendered violence facilitated by technologies but also responses to
these harms from the perspectives of victim advocates, legal
analyses, organisational and community responses, as well as
activism within civil society. It is unique in its recognition of
the intersecting drivers of inequality and marginalisation
including misogyny, racism, colonialism and homophobia. It draws
together the expertise of a range of established and globally
renowned scholars in the field, as well as
survivor-advocate-scholars and emerging scholars, lending a
combination of credibility, rigor, currency, and innovation
throughout. This handbook further provides recommendations for
policy and practice and will appeal to academics and students in
Criminology, Criminal Justice, Law, Socio-Legal Studies, Politics,
as well as Women's and/or Gender Studies.
Cybersecurity, data privacy law, and the related legal implications
overlap into a relevant and developing area in the legal field.
However, many legal practitioners lack the foundational
understanding of computer processes which are fundamental for
applying existing and developing legal structures to the issue of
cybersecurity and data privacy. At the same time, those who work
and research in cybersecurity are often unprepared and unaware of
the nuances of legal application. This book translates the
fundamental building blocks of data privacy and (cyber)security law
into basic knowledge that is equally accessible and educational for
those working and researching in either field, those who are
involved with businesses and organizations, and the general public.
This book provides a comparison and practical guide of the data
protection laws of Canada, China (Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan), Laos,
Philippines, South Korea, United States and Vietnam. The book
builds on the first book Data Protection Law. A Comparative
Analysis of Asia-Pacific and European Approaches, Robert Walters,
Leon Trakman, Bruno Zeller. As the world comes to terms with
Artificial Intelligence (AI), which now pervades the daily lives of
everyone. For instance, our smart or Iphone, and smart home
technology (robots, televisions, fridges and toys) access our
personal data at an unprecedented level. Therefore, the security of
that data is increasingly more vulnerable and can be compromised.
This book examines the interface of cyber security, AI and data
protection. It highlights and recommends that regulators and
governments need to undertake wider research and law reform to
ensure the most vulnerable in the community have their personal
data protected adequately, while balancing the future benefits of
the digital economy.
This book presents a collection of state-of-the-art approaches to
utilizing machine learning, formal knowledge bases and rule sets,
and semantic reasoning to detect attacks on communication networks,
including IoT infrastructures, to automate malicious code
detection, to efficiently predict cyberattacks in enterprises, to
identify malicious URLs and DGA-generated domain names, and to
improve the security of mHealth wearables. This book details how
analyzing the likelihood of vulnerability exploitation using
machine learning classifiers can offer an alternative to
traditional penetration testing solutions. In addition, the book
describes a range of techniques that support data aggregation and
data fusion to automate data-driven analytics in cyberthreat
intelligence, allowing complex and previously unknown cyberthreats
to be identified and classified, and countermeasures to be
incorporated in novel incident response and intrusion detection
mechanisms.
This book focuses on the building of a crypto economy as an
alternative economic space and discusses how the crypto economy
should be governed. The crypto economy is examined in its
productive and financialised aspects, in order to distil the need
for governance in this economic space. The author argues that it is
imperative for regulatory policy to develop the economic governance
of the blockchain-based business model, in order to facilitate
economic mobilisation and wealth creation. The regulatory framework
should cater for a new and unique enterprise organisational law and
the fund-raising and financing of blockchain-based development
projects. Such a regulatory framework is crucially enabling in
nature and consistent with the tenets of regulatory capitalism.
Further, the book acknowledges the rising importance of private
monetary orders in the crypto economy and native payment systems
that do not rely on conventional institutions for value transfer. A
regulatory blueprint is proposed for governing such monetary orders
as 'commons' governance. The rise of Decentralised Finance and
other financial innovations in the crypto economy are also
discussed, and the book suggests a framework for regulatory
consideration in this dynamic landscape in order to meet a balance
of public interest objectives and private interests. By setting out
a reform agenda in relation to economic and financial governance in
the crypto economy, this forward-looking work argues for the
extension of 'regulatory capitalism' to this perceived 'wild west'
of an alternative economic space. It advances the message that an
innovative regulatory agenda is needed to account for the
economically disruptive and technologically transformative
developments brought about by the crypto economy.
This volume explores from a legal perspective, how blockchain
works. Perhaps more than ever before, this new technology requires
us to take a multidisciplinary approach. The contributing authors,
which include distinguished academics, public officials from
important national authorities, and market operators, discuss and
demonstrate how this technology can be a driver of innovation and
yield positive effects in our societies, legal systems and
economic/financial system. In particular, they present critical
analyses of the potential benefits and legal risks of distributed
ledger technology, while also assessing the opportunities offered
by blockchain, and possible modes of regulating it. Accordingly,
the discussions chiefly focus on the law and governance of
blockchain, and thus on the paradigm shift that this technology can
bring about.
This book examines the interconnections between artificial
intelligence, data governance and private law rules with a
comparative focus on selected jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific
region. The chapters discuss the myriad challenges of translating
and adapting theory, doctrines and concepts to practice in the
Asia-Pacific region given their differing circumstances, challenges
and national interests. The contributors are legal experts from the
UK, Israel, Korea, and Singapore with extensive academic and
practical experience. The essays in this collection cover a wide
range of topics, including data protection and governance, data
trusts, information fiduciaries, medical AI, the regulation of
autonomous vehicles, the use of blockchain technology in land
administration, the regulation of digital assets and contract
formation issues arising from AI applications. The book will be of
interest to members of the judiciary, policy makers and academics
who specialise in AI, data governance and/or private law or who
work at the intersection of these three areas, as well as legal
technologists and practising lawyers in the Asia-Pacific, the UK
and the US.
Algorithms are now widely employed to make decisions that have
increasingly far-reaching impacts on individuals and society as a
whole ("algorithmic governance"), which could potentially lead to
manipulation, biases, censorship, social discrimination, violations
of privacy, property rights, and more. This has sparked a global
debate on how to regulate AI and robotics ("governance of
algorithms"). This book discusses both of these key aspects: the
impact of algorithms, and the possibilities for future regulation.
This is the first textbook introducing law to computer scientists.
The book covers privacy and data protection law, cybercrime,
intellectual property, private law liability and legal personhood
and legal agency, next to introductions to private law, public law,
criminal law and international and supranational law. It provides
an overview of the practical implications of law, their theoretical
underpinnings and how they affect the study and construction of
computational architectures. In a constitutional democracy everyone
is under the Rule of Law, including those who develop code and
systems, and those who put applications on the market. It is
pivotal that computer scientists and developers get to know what
law and the Rule of Law require. Before talking about ethics, we
need to make sure that the checks and balances of law and the Rule
of Law are in place and complied with. Though it is focused on
European law, it also refers to US law and aims to provide insights
into what makes law, law, rather than brute force or morality,
demonstrating the operations of law in a way that has global
relevance. This book is geared to those who have no wish to become
lawyers but are nevertheless forced to consider the salience of
legal rights and obligations with regard to the construction,
maintenance and protection of computational artefacts. This is an

OUP and selected open access locations.
Each manager of a department, or a specific responsibility, must
assess the data issues and risks as are relevant to their
individual department. The manager must assess what data exists;
whether it is permitted for use; filter out (including deletion of)
data that is over-broad or otherwise not permitted; and ensuring
procedures to identify and eliminate processes that open up the
risk of future unjustified data collections. While other agents of
the company or organisation will have responsibilities in relation
to data protection compliance, the manager of a department must
also engage in best practices that focus on the data protection
obligations of the department. Data protection compliance requires
not just adherence to specific data protection legal provisions,
but a full understanding of what data exists in the department,
company or organisation, where it is located and for what purpose.
The personnel manager needs to be satisfied that all of the
internal personnel records are fully data protection complaint.
Just one of the dangers is that these issues are not addressed in
appropriate reviews, contracts and policies. Another risk gap is
that there may be policies, etc., but the manager omitted to
appropriately include other non full time employees, such as those
whom may be contractors, temporary staff, interns, or family
members. The marketing manager needs to be satisfied that all of
the current and proposed marketing activities, customer lists, and
user lists are all compliant with the new data protection rules.
Organisations should have undergone an A - Z review of data
protection compliance in the lead up to the new EU General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) go-live date. In many organisations
there will be many activities and actions which carried over from
the GDPR review. These need to continue to be actioned. In
addition, there is also a new Data Protection Act 2018 to consider.
Organisations should also have appointed a new Data Protection
Officer (DPO) to assist in these efforts and to be the official
point of contact internally and externally (for data protection
supervisory authorities and for customers and users). Critically,
all Managers need to be aware of data protection compliance and
related issues within their own Department. The Manager has duties
and responsibilities. The Manager cannot simply assume that someone
else will do it, or that all data protection issues for their
Department are already being dealt with by the DPO or some other
Department.
The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in blockchain
creates one of the world's most reliable technology-enabled
decision-making systems that is virtually tamper-proof and provides
solid insights and decisions. The integration of AI and Blockchain
affects many aspects from food supply chain logistics and
healthcare record sharing to media royalties and financial
security. It is imperative that regulatory standards are emphasized
in order to support positive outcomes from the integration of AI in
blockchain technology. Regulatory Aspects of Artificial
Intelligence on Blockchain provides relevant legal and security
frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in blockchain
and AI. Through the latest research and standards, the book
identifies and offers solutions for overcoming legal consequences
that pertain to the application of AI into the blockchain system,
especially concerning the usage of smart contracts. The chapters,
while investigating the legal and security issues associated with
these applications, also include topics such as smart contacts,
network vulnerability, cryptocurrency, machine learning, and more.
This book is essential for technologists, security analysts, legal
specialists, privacy and data security practitioners, IT
consultants, standardization professionals, researchers,
academicians, and students interested in blockchain and AI from a
legal and security viewpoint.
