Anti-FinTer will improve law enforcement capabilities, increase capacity and develop expertise in the area of terrorist financing associated with activities in:
Dark Web
The term dark web refers to encrypted online content that is not indexed by conventional search engines.
New Payment Systems
A payment system is any system used to settle financial transactions through the transfer of monetary value.
Crypto-assets
A crypto asset (cryptocurrency) is part of digital currencies (all electronic money).
Darknet Marketplaces
Darknet markets are dark web black markets that offer illicit goods for sale, often using cryptocurrencies as a method of payment.
Improvements in investigative capabilities will be brought about by three distinct actions:
Knowledge exchange
Facilitation of knowledge exchange among stakeholders and the documentation of best practices, risk analysis and policy recommendations in four workshops and monthly virtual meetings.
integration of tools
The integration of existing TRL6+ tools to create a Toolkit for training investigators and analysts in new investigative techniques that include crypto-asset analysis, text and image analysis from surface web, dark web and social media channels to identify common actors and correlate terrorist activity with cryptocurrency transactions, and artificial intelligence analytics for detecting transaction anomalies.
exercise environment
Through the development of training curricula and an exercise environment used in two virtual and three face-to-face training events and Hackathons that will be organized and carried out during the project along with two train-the-trainer events that will ensure a wider impact for the curricula.
