Need for cyber law

Cyber crimes are criminal activities such as theft, fraud, forgery, defamation and mischief as governed by the Indian Penal Code. Cyber crimes are unlawful acts where the computer is used either as a tool or a target or both and can be categorized as follows:

1. Tampering with computer source documents

2. Hacking with computer system

3. Publishing of information which is obscene in electronic form

4. Not to obey the direction of Controller

5. Directions of Controller to a subscriber extend facilities to decrypt information

6. Intrusion into protected system

7. Penal action for misrepresentation

8. Breach of confidentiality and privacy

9. Publishing digital signature certificate false in certain particular etc.

10. Act to apply for offence or contravention committed outside India and

11. Confiscation

Cyberspace being an intangible dimension makes it impossible to govern and regulate using conventional law. As Internet has grown in our country, the need has been felt to enact the relevant Cyberlaws, which are necessary to regulate Internet in India. There was no law in the country giving legal validity, and sanction to email. Courts and judiciary in our country were reluctant to grant judicial recognition to the legality of email in the absence of any specific law having been enacted by the Parliament.

Emergence of Cyber law

In the recent years there has been a rise in incidence of cyber terrorism. India has made cyber terrorism a heinous penal offence, punishable with life imprisonment and fine under the amendments to the IT Act 2000, as passed by Parliament in the last week of December 2008.

The primary source of cyber law in India is the Information Technology Act, 2000 which came into force on 17 October 2000, the object of which is to protect:

• All electronic systems from intrusion;

• Privacy of certain messages;

• protect the computer system from unauthorized access

Compliance with Indian Cyber law

Companies must ensure compliance with various provisions of Indian Cyberlaw in order to succeed effectively in e-commerce. The increasing use of Information and Communication Technology has given rise to serious compliance concerns, which if ignored could attract various civil and criminal sanctions. The abuse of computers has also given birth to a new age crimes that are addressed by the Information Technology Act, 2000. Cyber law makes it compulsory for all companies to have an information technology security policy. Other compliances that are required include relate to retention and authentication of electronic records and security of data.

All the Indian companies and all foreign companies doing business in India, either directly or indirectly, should comply with this law.

For mid-market ERP and MRP application, such as Microsoft Dynamics GP there is relatively strong, but maybe a bit narrow customizations and modifications market, where projects are spread across the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Mexico and Central America.  This means that having GP Dexterity developers in consulting staff is probably impractical, as it is not always possible to provide full workload and if programmed is used only on the case by case basis, then her or his software development experience maybe weaker than for the programmer working in centralized Great Plains Dexterity Software development factory.  We would like to review Dexterity development projects and specialization in this small publication:

 

1.       GP Dexterity overview.  This software development environment was specially created for Great Plains Software Dynamics ERP project in earlier 1990th as the shell written in C programming language.  Dex has its own scripting language Sanscript which is somewhat proprietary.  When Microsoft purchased Great Plains Software, Dexterity was enriched by such instruments as COM object call procedures, direct SQL stored procedures calls, etc.

 

2.       Dexterity customization examples.  The simplest Dex customization is Dex trigger, where if something happens with one of the fields on the form, or in the scrolling window, Dex trigger automatically updates mirroring record in the custom Dex table.  More sophisticated customizations create Dex custom window, which could be called from GP workstation interface and work with existing and newly created custom GP tables.  Also Dex can modify existing GP windows.  One of the most popular GP windows in Sales Transaction Entry screen.  One of the most popular GP tables, involved in customizations are: SOP10100 – Sales Document header, SOP10200 – Sales Document Line, IN00101 – inventory item master

 

3.       Dexterity versus eConnect.  eConnect is open to Microsoft Visual Studio C#, VB developers, who are familiar with MS SQL Server stored procedures and SQL Server in general.  eConnect, in essence imitates Great Plains Dexterity logic in its encrypted SQL stored procedures to do similar job as Dex, and initially it was dedicated to ecommerce web developers to integrate eCommerce web sites with GP SOP and Inventory modules.  eConnect is very popular tool, it lacks sutomatic batch posting logic, where you need to deploy Alba Spectrum Posting Server

 

4.       Great Plains Software Development Factory.  This centralized facility is dedicated to GP Dex, eConnect and generic Great Plains Integration projects.  This facility also includes Great Plains Remote Support call center

Software development is emerging as the fastest growing sector. There are new technologies coming up everyday to make life easier. Adobe has come up with a technology of adding its flash player on many mobiles. It offers free use on mobiles without the restrictions on the use of this software. They have published information of how this software will be used and offer it free without license fee. The information code helps software developers to use this software and they will only be required to write the code once.

This new technology will make it much easier for TV and film makers to send their contents to all other devices including mobiles. This technology has already reached millions of computer users. Rockstar, who have created grand theft auto video games have claimed large success through this technology. They have sold more than 609.000 copies of their new edition. This has brought them high revenue through these sales. The game has been developed at high cost but with these sales it won’t be difficult to cover the amount spent on it. The 60 GB version of Play Station 3 has reported problems with this new game. This problem has been taken care of by Rockstar as this has been giving problem only with a certain version.

This software development has been quite popular but has been facing some serious issues, one being the violence effect of these games on people. There has been report of violence in public. Initially considered to be a promotional stunt, later develop into a violent act. These games have been held responsible for many violence acts though many people believe that such games cannot be held responsible for this violence. The graphics of this game represents the next generation but the violence shown in these games has just brought in extreme violence with the new generation.

Over the recent years this violence has been a topic of discussion. There have been many arguments over these violent games and their affect on children. The nature of graphics and images used in these games has been considered as desensitizing children to violence in the real world. The vivid and repeated image coming on screen children start accepting the violence, aggression shown on the screen and they are more likely to adapt this violence and act the same in the real world.

This argument of violent effect on children though a strong one could not prove the violent affect related to the real world. One reason for this is lack of proof can be found in humans as well as animals. In particular apes frequently take part in play fighting. On the outside it looks violent but after they stop playing they can be found walking away happily.

Children follow the same behavior pattern, they know the difference between fighting and playing and so they understand the difference onscreen. No matter how aggressive behavior is shown in the games children can understand the differences between game and violence.
