Abstract:
Most of the countries enact cybercrime laws and specialized law-enforcement agencies to investigate cybercrimes. Many challenges are facing the law and the law-enforcement agencies due to different reasons classified as legal, technical, and operational challenges. One of the main challenges facing combating cybercrime is international cooperation complexity. Another important challenge facing cybercrime, whether transnational or domestic is the technical and legal capabilities and expertise in investigating cybercrime, as well as people's knowledge of cybercrime and information security. These challenges have been determined and classified in terms of legal, technical, and operational challenges by reviewing and summarizing the local, regional, international laws, and agreements. The technical and research reports of different worldwide agencies and researchers have been used in the evaluation of these challenges. As such, the Palestinian law enforcement agency was interviewed to classifying international cybercrime challenges and solution evaluation as a point of view by legal experts. Afterward, international cooperation challenges have been determined and evaluated. An essential technical frame of requirements to improve international cooperation was prepared in terms of modules as an international cooperation electronic portal. The proposed solution will contribute to the mitigation of international communication complexity, law enforcement agencies staff capacity building, and improve people's knowledge of cybercrime topics and issues by using an electronic cooperation portal. The solution has an additional aim to improve the cooperation between the public and private sectors. At this stage, a demo of law enforcement agencies' communication module was implemented.
