Cyber Forensics In India: A Legal Perspective by Nishesh Sharma

The importance of ‘Cyber Forensics’ needs hardly any emphasis. The subject has been very dear to my heart. Moreover, I had undertaken a thorough research on the said topic while persuing my Ph. D. During the said research, I found that there is a paucity of thorough analysis of the statutory provision on Cyber Forensics in India. The research on this topic has been carried out with an inter-disciplinary approach and covers various aspects of cyber law, such as, violation of the right to privacy, cyber terrorism and jurisdiction issues etc. The challenges posed by cyber-crime in India are acute and need to be addressed by a secure cyber system. In order to fight the threat posed by different cyber-crimes, there is a dire need for stringent international digital legislations and an efficient cross-border enforcement. Today, the cyber snooping of computer data is a menace to public authorities and private individuals too. There is an emergent need to invent potent cyber forensic tools to identify and prevent junk mails in cyberspace, as also the need to protect the corporate digital data/information through cyber security measures. In order to secure cyberspace there is a need for appropriate and improved execution and implementation of laws. This book includes a critical analysis and updated case law on this subject.
