Keywords:
cybercrime, electronic fingerprint, evidence, legal regulation, UAE legislationAbstract
The study aims mainly to evaluate the legal regulation of evidence in cybercrime in the United Arab Emirates compared to the provisions of Islamic laws by explaining the concept of cybercrime, its types, elements, and ways to confront it. The study will examine the legal and judicial framework to combat cybercrime in the United Arab Emirates, and define the means, conditions, the evidentiary requirements of cybercrime in Islamic law and UAE legislation. The researcher has used the descriptive-analytical method in his research. The study concludes with several results. The most important of which is that cybercrime differs from its traditional counterpart in nature and methods of gathering evidence to prove it. The study also concludes that there are difficulties in proving electronic evidence, in addition to the fact that the UAE legislator did not provide for means of evidence for cybercrimes. The study also concludes with several recommendations. There is also a need to enact legislation that compels technical companies and social media platforms to ask users and customers to provide personal documents that prove their identities when registering on any platform on the Internet, these documents will serve as an "electronic fingerprint”.
