Abstract

The value of criminal law protecting digital economy and financial entities largely depends on the integrated application of tools created within the framework of the
sciences of criminal law and information blocks. Computer modeling plays an important role in the proper criminalization of new social relations in the field of digital rights
recently introduced into the current legislation, which are actively used by cybercrime of various types. The main sources of legal errors in the organization of criminal law
protection of subjects of digital rights arise due to attempts to “mechanically” transfer some concepts from arithmetic, physics, microelectronics and other natural sciences to the field of criminal law. Moreover, the legislator linked the concepts of “digital rights” with the new legal concept of “rules of the information system”. At the same time, that
rules are created by the “owners” of information systems, and there are no relevant legal regulations on their structure and content at the level of federal laws. At the same
time, interconnected information systems have long been used in making exchange transactions with equity securities, and non-alignment of the rules of these systems
often lead to legal errors in identifying relevant criminal events. To prevent them, new ways of proper implementation of the tools of the information block sciences in the field of criminal law sciences are proposed. One of the most effective is the identification of legal algorithms from certain sets of criminal and civil law norms, which make it possible
to form a detailed criminal law characteristic of a specific cybercrime and identify the features of its composition for proper qualification. Other types of legal algorithms
make it possible to identify the features of the subject matter and the limits of proof in a criminal case of cybercrimes of this type. Still others need to use the methodology for
investigating such cybercrimes in a cyclical mode with feedback loops to identify each of the crimes committed in the aggregate and differentiate their elements. The formation
of hierarchical systems of legal algorithms of various types and purposes makes it possible to create on their basis a number of problem-oriented computer programs that
ensure the proper enforcement of interactive information systems for the processing of electronic documents and other information in the identification, disclosure and
investigation of crimes in the field of digital economy and finance.
