Challenges in electronic commerce from the aspect of protecting personal data stored in certain databases and digital forensics

Abstract

It is incomprehensible that the digital era is increasingly developing and applying electronic business. The use of electronic data stored in certain databases, electronic communications and electronic processing of large amounts of data in the performance of business processes of natural and legal persons is evidently increasing, in response to the challenges that electronic business brings, development and harmonization of the normative framework as in the domain of increasing the efficiency of business as well as the challenges that the digital era carries with it especially from the aspect of protection of personal data. The new European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in place since May 2018, while implementation at the national level begins in the second half of 2019, experience and challenges are the subject of current considerations. The challenges posed by the implementation of the normative framework must also be followed from the forensic aspect in response to potential violations and non-compliance with legal norms, which requires the development and application of new procedures and tools in this area. It is also evident that there is a need to raise the level of knowledge in this field, bearing in mind the specificity of the relation between the normative and technological aspect and the research that is being carried out in this field, both from the aspect of consideration and confidence in the reliability of the application of electronic commerce from the aspect of obtaining and processing information related to forensic aspects in the digital world. The topic of the discussion are precisely these issues that relate to the challenges in electronic commerce both from the aspect of protection of personal data and from the aspect of digital forensics.
