  • While the term is nothing new, 'cybersecurity' still seems to be defined quite loosely and subjectively depending on context. This is problematic especially to legal writers for prosecuting cybercrimes that do not fit a particular clause/act. In fact, what is more difficult is the non-existent single 'cybersecurity law' in Malaysia, rather than the current implementation of 10-related cyber security acts. In this paper, the 10 acts are compiled into a corpus to analyse the language used in these acts via a corpus linguistics approach. A list of frequent words is firstly investigated to see whether the so-called related laws do talk about cybersecurity followed by close inspection of the concordance lines and habitually associated phrases (clusters) to explore use of these words in context. The 'compare 2 wordlist' feature is used to identify similarities or differences between the 10 Malaysian cybersecurity related laws against a corpus of cyber laws from other ASEAN countries. Findings revealed that ASEAN cyber laws refer mostly to three cybersecurity dominant themes identified in the literature: technological solutions, events, and strategies, processes, and methods, whereas Malaysian cybersecurity-related laws revolved around themes like human engagement, and referent objects (of security). Although these so-called cyber related policies and laws in Malaysia are highlighted in the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), their practical applications to combat cybercrimes remain uncertain.

  • It is no doubt that information technology is the key factor of national safety. Information technology is positively useful for national security such as crime prevention and detection, criminal investigation, disaster management, and national defense. However, it might be a threat to the security as we saw in the examples such as '3.4 DDoS attacks' and 'Nong-hyup Computer Network Failure.' Although the effect that information technology makes upon the national security is immense, the current legal system does not reflect these changes well. National security should be kept during 'prevention-response-recovery' process regardless it is in the online on offline. In addition, public administration for national security should be based on laws. However, the current legal system is lack of legislative basis on cyber and physical disaster, and the laws on the response to disaster might cause confusing. Therefore, this study examines the limitation of the current legal system on national security, and suggests directions for the development of the system based on the new establishment of the legal concept for 'national security'.

  • Public policies are subject to the general strategies and agendas of the state and the enactment of law is subject to the superior laws. This paper will clarify in a practical way how the strategies and agenda of an Islamic state and the superior law (the primary sources of Sharia law) affect the mechanism of enacting laws and creating policies in an Islamic government. Especially, in the field of criminal law.

  • When cyber attacks are discovered in nuclear facilities, licensees are required to notify regulatory organizations for quick action. This also helps regulatory organizations to strengthen regulatory capabilities for cyber security. Currently the U.S. issued the final draft rule for Cyber Security Event Notifications. Domestic regulatory activities being at an early stage for cyber security need to implement law for Cyber Security Event Notifications. Since the current laws are focused on the aspect of safety, they are in need of more specific laws for cyber security.

  • With the rapid increase in mobile device users, there are many cyber attacks using SMS messages to infect the mobile device. The monetary demage from those attacks are also increasing. Since those demage are generally related to mobile micropayement systems, we study the details of the incidents on smishing and mobile micropayment. We have identified several limitations of current regulations and laws of them. Thus, we propose new regulations and laws to reduce the financial demage from simishing and to strengthen the security and responsibility of the mobile network operator, payment gateway, and content providers who are participating in the structure of a mobile micropayment systems, such as a regulation for information security evaluation system, several laws for compensation of financial demage within mobile micropayement system.

  • Recently 4th Industrial Revolution era has come up and autonomous vehicle gets a huge attention for its commercialization as well as development. To this end, many countries such as US, UK, Germany are looking into laws and policies related to autonomous vehicle making a new law system, laws, policies or at least modifying the existing ones. Korea is also facing commercialization and development of autonomous vehicle yet it's law system, laws and policies are far beyond comparing to those of advanced countries. This paper details current law system comparison of several countries providing differences and characteristics for the purpose of success of auto drive vehicle industry. On top of that we suggest a new law system, laws and policies and then provide directions as steps for mature implementation. In addition, we discuss how the new laws and policies can bring out successful commercialization as well as industrial success of autonomous vehicle at the points of consumers, vehicle makers, insurance companies, and government.

  • There is no assurance that malware could only cause virtual damage to computer programs and data as its potential is endless. However, legal provisions were earlier developed to cater to either a physical damage caused by a physical action or a virtual damage caused by a virtual action. When crossovers occur, it becomes quite uncertain as to how viable the current laws are in handling this matter. The author seeks to address the issue from the perspective of the laws of Malaysia.

  • The paper demonstrates how the Islamic governments in the Islamic history derived the authority for regulations and laws from the Qur'ān and the Sunna (sayings of the Prophet). These two laws are sovereign over public policy. Then, it shows the obstacles that prevented modern Muslim countries from formulating public policy based on Sharia law.
