Note: The chapters are grouped into four different sections with a particular scope in each. Hence, a small re numbering of the chapters was done. The following is the list of chapters with the new chapter numbers. (The already assigned chapter numbers are strike-off, for easy follow-up). In the IGI manuscript portal also, the chapters are re-numbered. The preface is written with this newly assigned chapter no. Ch. 3: Cloud crime and fraud-a study of challenges for cloud security and forensics (280515-053257) Ch. 9: Classification of cyber crimes and punishments under the information technology act, 2000 (271115-045426)
