Cyber ​​Crime Requires a Scientific and Technological Approach Total Security

Searching for digital crime science and technology solutions at the Women's Division Forum:

With the development of digital devices, cyber crimes mediated through information and communication technologies are becoming more and more serious.

In order to solve them, it is pointed out that a scientific and technological approach, such as the development and introduction of new investigative techniques, is necessary.

On the 12th, at an online forum organized by the Korean Federation of Women's Science and Technology Societies under the theme of diagnosing the black hole of sex crimes, the cyber

world', Professor Ki-beom Kim of the Department of Forensic Science at Sungkyunkwan University said, It was possible, but with the increase of digital crime, now is the time for a

genius with excellent tracking and analysis technology in the cyber world.”

The need for a scientific and technological approach, including the introduction of new investigative techniques

It is true that in the traditional field of public security, it remained in the fields of law, administration, and society, and there was some forensic use but little participation

However, digital evidence such as CCTV information, smartphone access records, call records, card usage records, and location information is increasing, and tracking avoidance technology that conceals and blocks exposure

is also developing, and a comprehensive technology development is necessary. .

Professor Kim Ki-beom said, “The dark web was designed to ensure anonymity because it was not accessible through a normal web browser.

This has become difficult and the limits of cyber investigations have been revealed.” He argued that there is a need to consider the introduction of new investigation techniques technically.

To this end, it is necessary to have a public consensus on what should be prioritized during criminal investigations and privacy protection, and based on this, the law must be revised.

For example, if a criminal does not decrypt the password, there can be several methods, such as criminal punishment, or downloading the code of an investigative agency to the

dark web and conducting an online search, but this is because there is a concern about privacy invasion.

Professor Kim also stressed the need for international cooperation on cybercrime.

It is pointed out that because cybercrime has a standardized environment of communication, it can occur in common in any country in the world.

However, for this purpose, the authority of investigative agencies has to be expanded to some extent, such as opening the possibility of intercepting or tracking personal communications.

Preventing cyber crimes from becoming more sophisticated and technological development

In addition, cyber crimes such as deep fakes and digital device hacking using artificial intelligence have recently been advanced.

Park Moon-beom, a researcher at the Korea Internet & total Security Agency, said, "Deep fake, a compound word of deep learning" and "fake," is a synthetic technology using artificial intelligence.

It was spread, but it is becoming easier for the general public to make it accordingly, and the target is widening, such as compounding and leaking it online to

Another problem is that the hacking of CCTV and IoT devices has become easier.

Principal Researcher Park said, “In the past, hacking was a very difficult technique, but now it is easy to do it without special engineering knowledge.” “In case of Chinese

products, the vulnerability of the device or the initial password is often opened, making it easier to hack.

These hacked CCTV or IoT devices are being used in various cyber crimes, such as peeking through public services, accommodation facilities, and even households, or creating illegal pornographic content to

In response, Park Tae-wan, head of the Information Communication Broadcasting Technology Policy Division of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Communication, said, “It is our government's position to comprehensively prepare

technical solutions related to cybercrime.” "We are developing a technology that shortens the time by automating web hard search or extracting illegal pornography images for use."
