Publication

This publication addresses the problem of cybercrime and the countermeasures taken to protect information systems. The author determines what legal standards should govern the use of such measures and what non-technical constraints are likely to be placed, or should be placed, on them. However, the author acknowledges that technological realities, differences in national values and rules concerning the intrusiveness of law enforcement as well as international cooperation can complicate the observance of these rights and allow misuse of systems set up for preventing, tracking or punishing cybercrime.
