KOZHIKODE: Police Commissioner Balram Kumar Upadhyaya inaugurated a one-day seminar on `Cyber Crimes: Detection and Prevention' being held at the National Institute of Technology, Calicut (NIT-C) on Saturday.
Inaugurating the seminar organised jointly by the Computer Society of India Calicut Chapter, the State IT Mission and the NIT-C, Mr. Upadhyaya explained how it was possible to detect who had uploaded the pirated copy of the movie `Notebook' for free download on a website and how to prevent similar crimes.
NIT-C Director G.R.C. Reddy presided over the function. Computer Society of India Calicut chairman K.P. Mohandas and vice-chairman A. Rajagopal spoke.
CDAC Joint Director V.K. Bhadran spoke on how computers can be used by people intent on causing damage or for carrying out illegal activities. The nature of today's Internet and computer networks is such that criminal activity can be carried out across national borders with a false sense of anonymity, he said.
In cyber crimes, computer is either used as a target of offence or as a tool for committing it. Hacking, cracking, espionage, cyber-warfare, and malicious computer code viruses are common forms of crimes that target the computer, Mr. Bhadran said. In crimes where computers are used as a tool, the criminal uses a computer to commit a traditional crime, such as counterfeiting currency, creating forged documents, creating morphed images etc, he said.
Mr. Bhadran dealt with the different methods used in investigating such crimes in his talk in the afternoon session.
The need of digital signatures for preventing unauthorised use of cyber space was detailed by Nabeel Koya, Scientific Officer, CDAC. Satheesh Kumar, Scientific Officer, described the different types of crimes committed using cell phones.
Shyam Padman, advocate, elaborated on Cyber Laws.
