LUCKNOW: The district police, in order to tighten the noose around cyber criminals, organised a slide show for around 150 cyber cafe owners on Thursday in which a private software firm displayed the latest technology to control cyber crime. The technology, according to the firm, will be used for the first time in India.
The technology introduced is titled 'Cyber Cafe Monitoring System (CCMS)' that will comprise techniques like biometric system, for taking image of fingerprints of persons using a computer system, along with having other features such as taking photographs, public IP address and MAC address (it is used for keeping a record of which computer system was used to commit the crime).
According to the firm's director Anuj Kacker, who presented the new technology to the cyber cafe owners, the technology would be having a scanner device for recording the fingerprints of the user.
The software installed would record photographs along with the names and other details of the user.
According to the police, the technology is designed in such a manner that the database will be recorded for a period of two months and if a criminal has used a particular computer system and after a few days again uses any computer system attached to the main server of the technology, his identity will be revealed and an SMS will reach the police officials of the concerned police station in a couple of seconds.
The software will also display a status column which will define whether a particular computer system is being used or not.
The technology will cost Rs 6,800 and an additional charge of Rs 200 for providing the services. According to the technology providers, the cost is less when compared to installing close circuit television cameras (CCTV), a set of which costs around Rs 14,000.
So far, six cyber cafes out of the total 3,000 in the city have installed the system and the firm and the police are optimistic about its use in future as well.
