Tracking of Cyber Crime and Security Using Graph Theory

A network that helps us define and dream up interconnections between various components is known as Graph theory. Here we used nodes and edges to represent the data. There are many uses of Graph theory in real life. Tracking down Cybercriminals is also one of them. Nowadays, with the advancement of science and technology, the number of crimes has also increased. The chapter, “Tracking of Cybercrime and Security using Graph Theory” represents how the concepts of Graph Theory can be used in tracking the crime that is happening in the cyber world. One of the great concerns in the era of digital technology is the security of information. Protecting the data and security infrastructure from unethical hackers is an extreme concern. The advances in science and technology have brought both opportunities and challenges to human life. So in today’s world, there is an urgent need to protect data and information such as credit card numbers, personal data, information of national importance, etc. In this chapter, the concept of graphs is intended to be incorporated in cyber security and network security. It needs special mention that the main objectives of cyber security are to ensure the ethics, secretiveness, and accessibility of direction systems. In this chapter, we have tried to showcase the use of graphs in cyber security and networks as it is a matter of growing concern for researchers and scientists.
