Objective
As the use of the internet and other computer networks has grown
exponentially in recent years, so has the opportunity for unlawful
online activities. Criminals can trade and share information masking
their identity, make contact with and gather information on victims, and
communicate with co-conspirators. This seminar will look at different
forms of special investigation techniques to tackle internet crimes
(remote investigations, online surveillance, covert investigations) and
at the challenges posed by encrypted data, proxy servers and cloud
computing.
Key topics
- Technical issues (internet caches, proxy servers, encryption, deep/dark web, etc.)
- Legal issues (remote investigations and online surveillance)
- Interception, search and seizure
- Electronic evidence and the essential difference between e-evidence and “traditional” forms of evidence
- Cross-border access to data
