MEHALLEGUE JAMILLA

Abstract

Technological development has led to the use of ICT (ICT), accompanied by a transformation in various fields of life, leading to the emergence of information crime threatening the security and safety of individuals, society and countries. Therefore, the Algerian legislator is confronting this information crime with appropriate techniques since it does not leave physical traces. Search, examination and investigation in a digital virtual environment are used to get digital evidence to prove and repress the crime which is borderless, raising the issue of conflict of laws and imposes the need to define competent jurisdiction and applicable law, as well as international judicial cooperation.
