Researchers at University of Maryland's engineering school have come up with a new innovative digital fingerprinting technology. It could be important for helping keep safe Hollywood's assets and identify national security leak, without impinging on legitimate uses. It is really important to keep safe digital and electronic information because its becoming increasingly used, and keeping it safe is extremely difficult.
This new technology is able to track down "cyber criminals" who have been infringing on personal online information and engaging in multimedia piracy. This new idea of "cyber forensics" will protect digital resources, and track whoever is trying to steal them or get a hold of them. This will protect against many crimes.
The "digital fingerprinting" is just saying that they can use codes to figure out who is trying to obtain what information or what they are trying to steal, and they will keep a record of this person, or people, that is involved. This system can accommodate millions of users and protect videos, images, audio, special documents (i.e. maps), and even things like pay per view.
It is believed that, these new advances in digital resourced will protect against piracy happening in the future.

I relaly liked how easily this information was presented and I find it very interesting. In a world that has technology changing every second of every day- new ways of buglary and crimes are beng created to keep up with it. Since the internet is one of those things, we need to be able to combat digital theft. I would have appreciated if there had been an ancedote or two to further emphasize the point, as well as someother examples of "cyber forensics". All in all, I find htis an interesting development in the criminal science world.
