Problems and Challenges of Cyber Law in Nepal

Challenges of Cyber Law in Nepal
  •  Cyber laws help to keep us safe and help to boost the IT economy. However, we can see an increasing cybercrime in society and an unsmooth IT economy. One of the most significant reasons for this is the lack of amendments to cyber laws. The internet is changing at a rapid rate and so is the way people consume information.
  •  The lack of proper updates in the ETA  (Electronic Transaction Act In Nepal cyber law is called as Electronic Transaction Act (ETA) 2063, which was passed in 2004. The bill deals with issues related to digital signature, intellectual property, cybercrime, etc. The Act is dived into 12 sections and 80 clauses. This law keeps an eyeball on issues that are related to computer networks and cybercrime.) has caused the formation of loopholes gradually which can be exploited by criminals. Further lack of new updates restricts citizens from enjoying IT facilities which rest of the world enjoys, for example, ETA hasn’t adequately addressed Online Payment, due to which we still don’t have separate, fast, and reliable online payment systems.
  • Another challenge is the implementation of cyber laws. For the proper application of the rules, people must be aware of them. However, since a large number of people use the internet in Nepal for entertainment purposes, they don’t keep care of their privacy in cyberspace which can result in a lot of issues like Fraud, Cyberbullying, identity theft, phishing, etc.
  • The importance of cyber law can’t be over-stressed. The proper regulation, amendment, implementation, and awareness generation can help to create a new and safe digital society.

Problems and Challenges of cyberlaw in Nepal
  • Prior to 2004, cybercrimes were dealt with under the Public Offence Act. Electronic Transaction Act (ETA) 2063 was passed in 2004 which is known as the cyber law. It protects users online against cybercrimes.
  • Although the law is present, it serves little to protect the users online. The law has not been adequately amended as a need of time.  The elements and dynamics of the web have been changing over time whereas the ETA remains constant.
  • The trend of cybercrime has changed in Nepal in comparison to previous years. Before, it was limited to data piracy, email blackmail, SMS blackmail, etc. whereas today it has reached a wide variety such as phishing, unauthorized access, online fraud, online illegal activities, etc. And there’s whole another level of social media-related crime going on.
  • Nepal faces a huge hindrance due to its limited policies and regulation.
  • Lack of investigation and cyber forensic has diminished the chance of catching the criminals. Information Technology is changing all aspects of human activity and in such cases. Cyber Law is essentially the most. Online communication has risen to a new level and to protect it from being turned into a serious crime, the Cyber Law of Nepal has to overcome the challenges it faces.

                       OR,

Problems and challenges
  • Nepal‟s cyber world is ruled by the Electronic Transaction Act (ETA) 2063 that protects users online against cybercrimes. Though the cyber law is present but due to lack of proper monitoring and updates it serves little use in protecting users online.
  • The dynamics of the internet have grown phenomenally where the ETA has been fixed and constant.  The Internet provides easy accessibility and other facilities but at the same technology also threatens the nation in lack of proper mechanism and policies which need to be researched and worked on.
  • Nepal has seen ups and downs in its technology but due to its limited policies and regulation, Nepal faces a huge hindrance in the coming days. Technology has been passed on but with little governance, and a lack of proper mechanisms and measures to cater to the need at times of emergency, Nepal faces a huge threat or challenge in overcoming the online threat.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

Pure Versus Partial EC

Image
Pure Versus Partial EC EC takes several forms depending on the degree of digitization (the transformation from physical to digital). Companies utilizing pure EC conduct all of their business online. Businesses utilizing partial EC conduct a portion of their business online and a portion of their business off-line OR,    Pure E-electronic commerce refers to a situation where a business transacts its business activities PURELY online. that is, the goods or services sold do not have any physical presence. take a business that sells software, for example, you just pay and download, or one that sells music files online. Partial E-Commerce on the other hand refers to a slightly opposite situation where a business has an online presence, but still has a physical location for the goods and services it sells. For example, Amazon, Walmart, and any other you can think of. you buy the goods online but receive them physically.                   ...
