6. Introduction Cyber Laws
 The Information Technology Act 2000 or any legislation in the
Country does not describe or mention the term Cyber Crime. It
can be globally considered as the gloomier face of technology. The
only difference between a traditional crime and a cyber-crime is that
the cyber-crime involves in a crime related to computers.
 The I.T. Act, 2000 defines the terms −
1. access in computer network in section 2(a)
2. computer in section 2(i)
3. computer network in section (2j)
4. data in section 2(0)
5. information in section 2(v).
 To understand the concept of Cyber Crime, you should know these
laws. The object of offence or target in a cyber-crime are either the
computer or the data stored in the computer.

7.  The Government of India enacted The Information Technology Act
with some major objectives which are as follows −
 To deliver lawful recognition for transactions through electronic
data interchange (EDI) and other means of electronic
communication, commonly referred to as electronic
commerce or E-Commerce. The aim was to use replacements of
paper-based methods of communication and storage of
information.
 To facilitate electronic filing of documents with the Government
agencies and further to amend the Indian Penal Code, the Indian
Evidence Act, 1872, the Bankers' Books Evidence Act, 1891 and the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and for matters connected
therewith or incidental thereto.
 The Information Technology Act, 2000, was thus passed as the Act
No.21 of 2000. The I. T. Act got the President’s assent on June 9,
2000 and it was made effective from October 17, 2000. By adopting
this Cyber Legislation, India became the 12th nation in the world to
adopt a Cyber Law regime.
