| description | In the context of the growing interest in and concern about drug trafficking carried out over the internet, this article aims to describe, in a systematic and succinct fashion, the principal characteristics of the illegal drug trade on the dark web. To this end, the article will be divided into two sections. The first, shorter section, will distinguish between the different “levels” of the internet. The second, longer section, will focus on describing the principal characteristics of these crypto-markets. As regards these sorts of dark web markets, this section will detail the security measures and mechanisms that they utilize to generate trust among buyers and sellers; their capabilities and limits; their impact on various levels of the illegal drug trade; the types and quantities of narcotics that are sold on them; the profile of the buyers and sellers who use them; and also the strategies designed by states to limit them. The achievement of said objectives presupposes that the most relevant and up-to-date work written about this subject will be used as reference material. |

En el marco del creciente interés y preocupación generada por el narcotráfico a través de Internet, el presente artículo se propone presentar, de manera sistemática y sucinta, los principales rasgos del tráfico ilícito de drogas en la Internet oscura. Para hacerlo, el trabajo se dividirá en dos partes. La primera, más breve, dedicada a distinguir los diferentes niveles de Internet. La segunda, más larga, enfocada en presentar los principales rasgos de los criptomercados. En particular, se intentarán describir, en esta sección, las tecnologías de seguridad y los mecanismos que usan para generar confianza en los compradores y vendedores; sus potencialidades y límites; su impacto en los diferentes niveles del tráfico ilícito de drogas; los tipos y las cantidades de estupefacientes que se comercializan en ellos; el perfil de los compradores y de los vendedores; y también las estrategias concebidas por los estados para restringirlos. La consecución de dichos propósitos supondrá que se tomen como referencia los trabajos más relevantes que, hasta el momento, se escribieron sobre el tema.
