ABSTRACT

We experience a drastic shift in innovation and technology day by day. There is an explosive rise in the way we receive information. Technology brought us from the days where we hardly remember important events to the stage where our entire personal data is digitalized and can never be forgotten. The Internet made this 21st century the information era. Databases and technology act as a weapon to the many raising enterprises. Proprietary algorithms solve the business nuances with great accuracy.

Big Data Analytics, for example, is used to examine enormous and complicated datasets. Using these types of analysis, businesses and governments may learn a lot about a variety of topics, such as health and nutrition, food safety, smart transportation, energy efficiency, and urban planning. Digitalization in government; healthcare and education services; the cashless economy and digital transactions; bureaucratic openness; and the fair and quick implementation of public benefit programmes, etc., are all part of this effort.

With about 450 million internet users and a growth rate of 7-8 percent, India is well on its way to becoming a digital economy. There will be fresh opportunities for corporate growth and employment in the digital economy for 40-50 years. Personal data processing is increasingly ubiquitous in the public and commercial sectors, even as the shift to a digital economy continues. The Internet has opened new markets, both explicitly and as a crucial component of its business models, for those involved in gathering, organizing, and processing personal information.3 In this work the authors tried to find a way to situate the encryption and allied rights in the Indian Legal system.
