        Cyber law and Web security

        Definition of Cyber law , Cyber Crime , Cyber Lawyer etc

        Cyber Crime
        Cyber crime is unlawful acts wherein the computer is either a tool or a target or both.

        We can categorize Cyber crimes in two ways
        The Computer as a Target :-using a computer to attack other computers.
        e.g. Hacking, Virus/Worm attacks, DOS attack etc.

        The computer as a weapon :-using a computer to commit real world crimes.
        e.g. Cyber Terrorism, IPR violations, Credit card frauds, EFT frauds, Pornography etc.
        Cyber Crime regulated by Cyber Laws or Internet Laws.


        Indian IT Act 2000 ( amendments in 2006 and 2008 )


        In May 2000, both the houses of the Indian Parliament passed the Information Technology Bill. The Bill received the assent of the President in August 2000 and came to be known as the Information Technology Act, 2000. Cyber laws are contained in the IT Act, 2000.

        This Act aims to provide the legal infrastructure for e-commerce in India. And the cyber laws have a major impact for e-businesses and the new economy in India. So, it is important to understand what are the various perspectives of the IT Act, 2000 and what it offers.

        The Information Technology Act, 2000 also aims to provide for the legal framework so that legal sanctity is accorded to all electronic records and other activities carried out by electronic means. The Act states that unless otherwise agreed, an acceptance of contract may be expressed by electronic means of communication and the same shall have legal validity and enforceability. Some highlights of the Act are listed below:

        Chapter-II of the Act specifically stipulates that any subscriber may authenticate an electronic record by affixing his digital signature. It further states that any person can verify an electronic record by use of a public key of the subscriber.

        Chapter-III of the Act details about Electronic Governance and provides inter alia amongst others that where any law provides that information or any other matter shall be in writing or in the typewritten or printed form, then, notwithstanding anything contained in such law, such requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied if such information or matter is -
        rendered or made available in an electronic form; and accessible so as to be usable for a subsequent reference.

        The said chapter also details the legal recognition of Digital Signatures.

        Chapter-IV of the said Act gives a scheme for Regulation of Certifying Authorities. The Act envisages a Controller of Certifying Authorities who shall perform the function of exercising supervision over the activities of the Certifying Authorities as also laying down standards and conditions governing the Certifying Authorities as also specifying the various forms and content of Digital Signature Certificates. The Act recognizes the need for recognizing foreign Certifying Authorities and it further details the various provisions for the issue of license to issue Digital Signature Certificates.

        Chapter-VII of the Act details about the scheme of things relating to Digital Signature Certificates. The duties of subscribers are also enshrined in the said Act.

        Chapter-IX of the said Act talks about penalties and adjudication for various offences. The penalties for damage to computer, computer systems etc. has been fixed as damages by way of compensation not exceeding Rs. 1,00,00,000 to affected persons. The Act talks of appointment of any officers not below the rank of a Director to the Government of India or an equivalent officer of state government as an Adjudicating Officer who shall adjudicate whether any person has made a contravention of any of the provisions of the said Act or rules framed there under. The said Adjudicating Officer has been given the powers of a Civil Court.

        Chapter-X of the Act talks of the establishment of the Cyber Regulations Appellate Tribunal, which shall be an appellate body where appeals against the orders passed by the Adjudicating Officers, shall be preferred.

        Chapter-XI of the Act talks about various offences and the said offences shall be investigated only by a Police Officer not below the rank of the Deputy Superintendent of Police. These offences include tampering with computer source documents, publishing of information, which is obscene in electronic form, and hacking.



        Security Breeches ( Spamming , Spoofing , Phishing , Hacking etc )
        Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages, especially advertising, indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: Web search engine spam, spam in blogs etc. Email spam, also known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted email messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients. A person who creates electronic spam is called a spammer.

        Spoofing
        Email spoofing is email activity in which the sender address and other parts of the email header are altered to appear as though the email originated from a different source.

        Types of Hackers & Ethical hacking

        Hacker means someone who finds weaknesses in a computer or computer network, though the term can also refer to someone with an advanced understanding of computers and computer networks.

        White Hat Hacker
        A white hat hacker breaks security for non-malicious reasons, perhaps to test their own security system or while working for a security company which makes security software. The term "white hat" in Internet slang refers to an ethical hacker.

        Black Hat Hackers
        Black hat hackers break into secure networks to destroy data or make the network unusable for those who are authorized to use the network.

        Grey Hat Hacker
        A grey hat hacker is a combination of a Black Hat and a White Hat Hacker.




        Cryptography ( Encryption and Decryption Techniques )
        Cryptography is the science of secret writing. This word emerged from the greek words 'krupto' means secret and 'graph' means writing.

        Encryption is the process of transforming plain text to unreadable scrambled text called cipher text.
        Decryption is the reverse process of encryption , ie it converts unreadable cipher text back to plain text.


        Need of Protocols like HTTPS and SSL
        Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a widely used communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network.

        HTTPS provides authentication of the web site and associated web server that one is communicating with, which protects against Man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, it provides bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server, which protects against eavesdropping and tampering with and/or forging the contents of the communication.
        Eavesdropping is the act of secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent.


        VIRUS , WORMS & TROJANS
        VIRUS stands for Vital Information Resources Under Siege. VIRUS is a computer program .
        Antivirus programs are used to detect the presence of VIRUS in computer .VIRUS programs have unique code pattern called VIRUS Signature.  Virus programs are categorized accordingly by analyzing this code pattern.
        Neumann's design for a self-reproducing computer program is considered the world's first computer virus, and he is considered to be the theoretical father of computer virology.

        Spyware
        Spyware is a type of malware (malicious software) installed on computers that collects information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user and can be difficult to detect. Some spyware, such as keyloggers, may be installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer intentionally in order to monitor users.
