“…Energy-ICT is an integrated physical-information network. The integration of energy and ICT also inevitably exposes itself to cybersecurity threats (see [6] and [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]). Venkatachary et al [71] remind us that ICT connects multiple sectors as well as that of energy; however, the interdependence of these sectors generates security gaps.…”

This paper reviews the economic and managerial literature on the relationship between energy-ICT and the development of the green energy economy. It is summarized that there are four lines of existing literature on energy-ICT: cost and benefit analysis, fair competition issues, cybersecurity issues, and promotion policy issues. Even though ICT is energy-consuming, most of the existing empirical studies support the idea that energy-ICT has net positive effects on energy savings, energy efficiency improvement, emission reduction, and economic growth at both enterprise and economy-wide levels. Energy-ICT equips the platform operator with higher bargaining power, such that a governance mechanism to assure the fair access right of each entitled participant is required. A smarter energy-ICT network also becomes riskier, and hence the cybersecurity protection is more important than before. Future research and development opportunities remain on these issues of the fair competition, cybersecurity, and promotion policy of energy-ICT.

“…For example, in 2016, cyberattacks on Kiev, Ukraine, left hundreds of thousands of civilians without power on several different occasions, representing the unrelenting threats posed to modern cybersecurity (Lee, Assante, and Conway 2016). Also, a cyber war by the "WannaCrypt" worm in May 2017 impacted 59,000 computers in nearly 100 countries, leaving negative economic and operational impacts in its wake (Venkatachary, Prasad, and Samikannu 2018). Despite few examples of infrastructural hacking in the United States, cybersecurity experts believe "we have been incredibly lucky that there hasn't been a catastrophic cyberattack against national infrastructure" (Smith 2018)-which suggests the issue is much less of an "if" and more of a "when.…”

“…Further, it is quite challenging to reckon with the ease and speed of terrorist groups in adopting and executing destructive cyber-attacks in the coming future. Therefore, a reasonable inference can be drawn that in an ever-growing digital world, cyber technology and strength of the terrorist groups entails a constant review of cyber-attack assiduously and needs an appropriate legal mechanism to combat this menace in India (Venkatachary et al, 2018).…”

The menace of terrorism, when boosted by information and communication technology, incarnates into cyber-terrorism. This new avatar of terrorism is more sophisticated than the traditional one. By virtue of its labyrinthine and trans-border, cyber terrorism presents a fundamental challenge to democratic states. Many countries, curbed and curtailed the freedom of speech and expression, liberty, privacy and other fundamental rights in order to combat the menace of cyber terrorism. India, one of the world's largest democracies, enacted specific anti-terrorism laws to tackle the threat of terrorism and included a provision concerning cyber terrorism in the Information Technology Act. However, combating the blatant and hidden acts of cyber terrorism is not a regular criminal justice-endeavour; instead, it is a challenge to the state machinery. This paper aims to make an inquiry into the conceptual framework of cyber terrorism and highlights the Indian legal regime to tackle the menace of cyber terrorism. The article further critically examines Section 66 (F) of the Information Technology Act to prove the hypothesis that this provision is a stringent measure, and is against the very structure of democracy and the rule of law.
