“…Hence, encryption represents a "trade-off" between the success of the investigation and citizen privacy rights [91]. Losavio et al [103] concludes that maintaining that balance between the needs of the state and the needs of the citizens will play a central role in the future of the forensic discipline.…”

Today is the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). The recent advances in hardware and information technology have accelerated the deployment of billions of interconnected, smart and adaptive devices in critical infrastructures like health, transportation, environmental control, and home automation. Transferring data over a network without requiring any kind of human-to-computer or human-to-human interaction, brings reliability and convenience to consumers, but also opens a new world of opportunity for intruders, and introduces a whole set of unique and complicated questions to the field of Digital Forensics. Although IoT data could be a rich source of evidence, forensics professionals cope with diverse problems, starting from the huge variety of IoT devices and non-standard formats, to the multitenant cloud infrastructure and the resulting multi-jurisdictional litigations. A further challenge is the end-to-end encryption which represents a trade-off between users' right to privacy and the success of the forensics investigation. Due to its volatile nature, digital evidence has to be acquired and analyzed using validated tools and techniques that ensure the maintenance of the Chain of Custody. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the main issues involved in the complex process of IoT-based investigations, particularly all legal, privacy and cloud security challenges. Furthermore, this work provides an overview of the past and current theoretical models in the digital forensics science. Special attention is paid to frameworks that aim to extract data in a privacy-preserving manner or secure the evidence integrity using decentralized blockchain-based solutions. In addition, the present paper addresses the ongoing Forensics-as-a-Service (FaaS) paradigm, as well as some promising cross-cutting data reduction and forensics intelligence techniques. Finally, several other research trends and open issues are presented, with emphasis on the need for proactive Forensics Readiness strategies and generally agreed-upon standards.

“…4) Legal Issues: Losavio et al [103], provide an overview of present and future legal concerns in relation to IoT security and forensics. One of the main points refers to the conflicting legal guidance in case of cross-border crimes, including the absence of clear procedural and contractual agreements.…”

“…The Uniform Commercial Secrets Act also defines trade secrets: "Information including a formula, pattern, composition, program, device, method, technique, or process whose first, economic, actual or potential value This results from the fact that no one is generally known and is not readily available to other persons who can gain economic benefit by disclosing or using it. Secondly, conventional efforts have been made to keep it secret (LOSAVIO, 2018).…”

Digital forensics is essentially synonymous with computer forensics, but the term "digital forensics" is generally used for the technical review of all devices that have the ability to store data. Today, digital criminology is challenged in cloud computing. The first problem is to understand why and how criminal and social actions are so unique and complex. The second problem is the lack of accurate scientific tools for forensic medicine in cyberspace. So far, no complete tools or explanations for criminology have been provided in the virtual infrastructure, and no training for security researchers has been provided in detail. Therefore, the author of the present descriptive-analytical research is based on library resources and using fish taking tools. To investigate suspicious cases related to cyberspace, criminologists must be well-equipped with technical and legal issues to deal with. In this article, we analyze digital criminology and its role in judicial law. The benefit of computer forensic knowledge is not only an indispensable necessity for security and judicial institutions, but also professional users and owners of computer systems, systems and networks must be fully aware of and properly comply with its legal and technical requirements.

Considering the enhancement in technology, criminals have been using cyberspace in order to commit many crimes. Therefore, it should be noted that cybercrimes are exposed to a number of threats and intrusions if not safeguarded well. Human and physical intervention tend not to be very adequate for the protection and tracking of such infrastructure, that is why there should be the establishment of multifaceted cyber defense networks, which are flexible, robust, and adjustable in order sense a massive collection of invasion and creation of real-time choices. Nevertheless, significant number of bio-related computing techniques of AI (artificial intelligence) tend to be increasing hence a significant role is played in detecting and preventing cybercrime. The main aim of this paper is outlining the actual advancement that have been made possible due to the application of AI methods for the fight against cybercrimes, in order to reveal how the methods are efficient in sensing and preventing cyber invasions, also providing a brief overview of the future works.
