Consent in privacy laws: Analysis of India’s PDPB, ECPA of USA and GDPR of EU
International Journal of Law
See publicationConsent refers to an affirmative action on the part of the individuals indicating their agreement to the use of their personal data by the collectors or processors for the purpose of processing.

Consent refers to an affirmative action on the part of the individuals indicating their agreement to the use of their personal data by the collectors or processors for the purpose of processing. Consent has been viewed as an expression of a person‘s autonomy or control, which has the consequence of allowing another person to legally disclaim liability for acts, which have been consented to. Consent has many connotations in various privacy laws, somewhere it tows the line of prevailing international laws and in some laws it gets localized, but largely consent remains individuals’ will to share his / her data. This paper analysis the established privacy laws i.e. EU’s GDPR and ECPA of USA with long awaited India’s proposed Personal Data Protection Bill. The author has been involved in various government consultations on PDPB since 2006.

ANALYSING THE AWARENESS OF CYBER CRIME AND DESIGNING A RELEVANT FRAMEWORK WITH RESPECT TO CYBER WARFARE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
International Journal of Mechanical Engineering & Technology (IJMET) Scopus Indexed
See publicationInternet users are progressively getting themselves vulnerable to security dangers
amid their utilization of the internet. Therefore, the concern can be raised about users'
awareness of these issues, and the degree to which they are thus secured and prepared

amid their utilization of the internet. Therefore, the concern can be raised about users'
awareness of these issues, and the degree to which they are thus secured and prepared
to manage situations they may experience. This paper has provided a survey of
contemporary thought on the challenges presented by cybercrime. It began by looking
at existing definitions of cybercrime and cyberwarfare and found two problems that
needed resolving. Firstly, it was found that there is no widely accepted definition of
either cybercrime or cyber warfare. This is problematic since, without an agreed
definition, it is difficult to discuss the deeper issues or even recognize when cyber
warfare is occurring. It presents outcomes from the study of 325 users to evaluate
their view of security issues, their awareness and their dispositions towards the
utilization of related software. The findings uncover that in spite of the fact that there
is a high level of confidence at a surface level, with respondents asserting to know
about the dangers and using a large number of the important protections, more
thorough interpretation proposes that there are a few regions in which essential
information and comprehension are inadequate. -

The purpose of this study is to explore the evolving technology and systems to find a low cost, efficient and portable solution for hard disk drive forensic imaging.Hard Disk Drive Imaging is one of the most frequently used forensic process which finds its application in both traditional as well as digital crimes and has found massive implementation in detecting cyber-crime incidents leading to cyber warfare. An empirical research was conducted using combination of hardware’s like Intel NUC, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, Custom Forensic Workstation (CFW), write blockers etc. and software’s like ENCASE and FTK imager to do forensic imaging using multiple hard drives. A comparative analysis of the imaging process using same identical media over various platforms was done.The research shows that Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is a cost effective solution when a small device is to be imaged. Intel NUC with its i3 processor performs better than custom forensic work station with i7 processor when imaging using FTK Imager. The process of imaging involves many intricacies in order to prove the authenticity of evidence in a court of law. Problem in this regard arose when imaging was done using FTK on Linux and analyzed using ENCASE. The format generated on Linux and that recognized by ENCASE is different. The integrity of evidence is thus put to question. It was observed that not all components of each system are needed consecutively for the task of imaging. Consequently if a system is assembled with necessary components, it can help in further reducing the cost drastically.

This article describes how the interconnected world of today, or the cyber space so
often called, is easily accessible through a wide array of devices and has an impact and
reach beyond geo-political boundaries Owing to high levels of connectivity and the nature of
E-governance activities today, the cyber space is rapidly becoming a potential global
battlefield for cyber warfare among various state and non-state entities. An effective cyber
weapon in this space is like an indicator of cyber power, its nature being offensive or
defensive. Parameters of effectiveness and reliability range from the type of developer of the
weapon, whether state or non-state to its longevity in time and technology and others like
possibility of an economic implementation along with the scope of its usage. -
