Interception in Information Communication Technology Special Reference to Cryptography, Information Security & Law

Abstract

A rapid increase in the use of Information Communication Technology has given rise to new forms of malicious activities and incidents. Threats emanate from a wide variety of sources, and their effects carry significant risk for public safety, the security of nations and the stability of the globally linked international community as a whole. The origin, identity of the perpetrator, or motivation for the disruption can be difficult to ascertain. Threat actors can operate with substantial impunity from virtually anywhere. Many malicious tools and methodologies originate in the efforts of cybercriminals and hackers. The growing sophistication and scale of criminal activity increases the potential for harmful actions. The technical defense like cryptographic techniques to prevent and control of the intruders and their activities, need of legal provisions discussion in the knowledge court and some suggestions are to be explored in this Research paper.
