The possibility of identifying signs of a person's personality by his digital identity

In this article, the term "digital personality", "digital double", which is new for forensic science, is put forward and the definition of these terms is given. The possibilities of identifying a user by his digital identity in the virtual space are considered. A proposal is put forward to develop methodological recommendations for identifying signs of a person's personality based on his digital identity. The algorithm of actions of law enforcement officers in identifying signs of a digital identity on the Internet is also explained. The expert examinations that are subject to mandatory appointment in the investigation of such types of crimes have been identified. In the course of scientific study of the problem of the possibilities of identifying signs of a user's identity by his digital identity, a step-by-step algorithm of actions of law enforcement officers for an effective process of investigation and disclosure of such crimes is proposed. Methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction were used. The research materials are normative legal acts of the Russian Federation and materials of criminal cases related to crimes committed on the Internet. In our opinion, the scientific novelty lies in the fact that we propose the development and application of a forensic technique for detecting human signs using "digital personality doubles" in the Internet space, as this issue is becoming more relevant today. The method of searching for a "digital personality" is a complex and multifaceted process that requires certain knowledge and skills, as well as the joint work of law enforcement agencies and moderators of various services on the Internet. Even more difficult is the conduct of scientific research aimed at establishing the digital identity of the human physical body. Currently, most crimes are committed using digital technologies, therefore, such a technique is becoming necessary for law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity specialists. Given these conditions, the question arises about the forensic aspects of establishing a "digital identity". The method of identifying signs of a person's identity based on his digital identity is a comprehensive approach that includes the development of an algorithm for the investigator's actions, conducting user data checks, creating a database and organizing cooperation with Internet service providers. Its purpose is to accurately build an algorithm for the investigator's actions to effectively investigate and solve crimes and protect users from potential crimes.
