| The degree to which the development of new technology fits in with the social rule of law and the interactive relationship between them has always been an issue that should be paid great attention to in the development of the level of legal system in modern society.With the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia in December 2019,people’s lifestyle and social development mode have gradually shifted from offline to online,from entity to digital,which greatly promoted the popularization and development of digital economy and high-tech industries.At present,our country is standing at the inflection point of the transformation from Internet technology to data processing technology.The Internet of things,blockchain,cloud technology,big data and other high-tech industries supported by digital technology are developing rapidly.These technologies improve the convenience of the government in the process of law enforcement,but their virtualization,openness,decentralization and other characteristics have also become a hotbed of cybercrime,posing new challenges to the current fight against cybercrime.From the beginning of the Internet,it existed as a public information exchange platform.However,with the in-depth development of Internet technology and the improvement of network penetration,especially the wide application of cloud computing and cloud services,a large number of users store their personal information in the cloud manager,which makes the public network platform develop towards a private and personalized space.Users also begin to have more and more protection expectations for the personal digital information storage space.There are many aspects of cloud computing,and there are many kinds of corresponding cloud service modes,which makes it diverse.The investigation of cybercrime involving the cloud as the subject,object or environment is cloud forensics.The challenges brought by cloud forensics exist in every stage of digital forensics.Due to the complexity of data storage and the sharing and adhesion of data among multiple users in the cloud environment,government agencies will obtain a large number of personal information of irrelevant users during investigation and forensics,resulting in great infringement on the personal information of irrelevant users.To solve the dilemma of personal information infringement in the process of cloud forensics,we should first confirm the boundary of the cloud field,including the coverage of cloud computing,cloud service model and criminal cloud forensics.Through the theoretical analysis of the necessity of personal information protection in the process of cloud forensics abroad,and the introduction of the risk of personal information infringement caused by the characteristics of digital information and cloud forensics,this paper demonstrates the legal reasons for personal information protection in the process of cloud forensics.By strengthening pre legislation,in-process supervision autonomy and technical research,and post relief,build a legal system for the protection of personal information in the process of criminal cloud forensics,and seek the way to protect personal digital information in the process of combating cybercrime in the digital era. |
