Abstract -
Computer technology services didn't come out without pitfalls. Although it makes life too quick and easy, however shoved under the eclipse of risk from the deadliest type of crime named ‘Cybercrime’, without machines whole industries and multiple activities would almost cease to work. This proliferation of cheap, powerful, user-friendly computers has made it possible for more and more people to use them as part of their normal way of life. The abundance of inexpensive, strong, user-friendly computers has made it possible for more and more people to use them as part of their normal way of life. As businesses, organizations, and people continue to rely more and more on them, so do the hackers. Restricting cybercrimes relies on proper analysis of their actions and awareness of their impacts through all levels of society. Hence, this work explains purposeful knowledge of cybercrimes, how they attack, preventions and their effects with future cybercrime trends over various areas.

Abstract -
A land dispute involves conflicting claims to the ownership right of landed property by two or more parties that can be addressed within a legal framework. The advancements in networking and computing technologies have opened a gateway for the landowners to make any legal transaction on their landed properties, such as selling and conveniently transferring ownership through the internet. Despite all the advantages of digital technology advancement and the global use of the internet, the fraudulent act of manipulating digital content to compromised ownership rights is a common phenomenon in land conflicts. In this study, a scheme of multi-prover zero-knowledge arguments and outsourcing secret sharing has been proposed to solve land disputes. In this proof, participants only have to run a small amount of competition on their devices. Simultaneously, complex computation is sent to the cloud service provider for verification and construction.
