This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force report, Defending an Open, Global, Secure, and Resilient Internet, finds that as more people and services become interconnected and dependent on the Internet, societies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. To support security, innovation, growth, and the free flow of information, the Task Force recommends that the United States and its partners work to build a cyber alliance, make the free flow of information a part of all future trade agreements, and articulate an inclusive and robust vision of Internet governance.

Download or read book The Open World Hackbacks and Global Justice written by A. Jean Thomas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the current impasse that global regulators face in the digital sphere. Computer technology has advanced human civilization tenfold, but the freedom to interact with others in cyberspace has made individuals, discrete communities, organizations and governments more vulnerable to abuse. In consequence, political decision-makers are seriously considering granting limited legal immunity to victims who decide to ‘hack- back.’ Many victims frustrated by the slow pace of law enforcement in cyberspace have chosen to ‘take the law into their own hands,’ retaliating against those who have stolen valuable data and damaged network operations. Political deliberations about limited immunity for hackbacks usually ignore global justice and moral justifications for ‘active defense’ policies. Typically, cyber security policies balance deterrence against two different understandings of morality and the ‘good life’ : fairness or welfare. This book proposes a third moral rationale for cyber security policies : capability theory, developed principally by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. Properly formulated, a capability-based defense of retaliatory hackbacks can minimize attribution and cyber-escalation risks, deter bad behavior by casual computer users, disingenuous security experts, big tech companies, criminals and rogue governments, and satisfy calls for more retributive and distributive justice in the ‘open world’. This book will appeal to legal theorists, political philosophers, social activists, investors, international relations scholars and businesspeople in the tech community.

Independent Task Force on Defending an Open, Global, Secure, and Resilient Internet and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the last four decades, the Internet has developed from an obscure government science experiment to one of the cornerstones of modern life. It has transformed commerce, created social and cultural networks with global reach, and become a surprisingly powerful vehicle for political organization and protest alike. And it has achieved all of this despite -- or perhaps because of -- its decentralized character. This vision, however, and the Internet to which it gave rise, is under threat from a number of directions. States are erecting barriers to the free flow of information to and through their countries. Even Western governments do not always agree on common content standards -- the United States, for example, is more accepting of neo-Nazi content or Holocaust denial than are France or Germany. Other countries' efforts to control the Internet have gone far beyond limiting hate speech or pornography. Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and others have considered building national computer networks that would tightly control or even sever connections to the global Internet. State and nonstate actors, moreover, now regularly attack the websites and internal systems of businesses. Most of these attacks are for theft -- cost estimates of intellectual property losses range as high as $500 billion per year. Other activities are related to sabotage or espionage. Hacking and defacing websites or social media feeds is a frequently used tool of political competition, while destructive programs such as Stuxnet are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Such activities can be expected to become more commonplace as critical systems become more interconnected and financial and technical barriers to entry for cyber activities fall further. A balkanized Internet beset by hostile cyber-related activities raises a host of questions and problems for the U.S. government, American corporations, and American citizens. The Council on Foreign Relations launched this Task Force to define the scope of this rapidly developing issue and to help shape the norms, rules, and laws that should govern the Internet.

Download or read book Report on A Framework for International Cyber Stability written by United States. International Security Advisory Board and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report aims at outlining a framework for international cyber stability. Cyber stability would enhance continuity of relations between nations in the face of attack or exploitation through cyber means. Since current international law is not yet well developed in the cyber realm, we propose that the United States articulate norms consistent with existing international law and U.S. values, while recognizing the uncertainties surrounding cyber activities. As the United States anticipates a response to all consequences of a cyber attack on itself, allies or vital interests, in order to limit unintended escalation the United States should set rigorous rules of engagement for military and civilian organizations for responding to significant attacks using cyber means. Cyberspace is not defined geographically and our allies have yet to agree on norms for behavior within it. The ISAB supports a two-tier approach for building consensus on future norms and potential treaty obligations: continuing discussions at the multilateral level and pursuing vigorous bilaterial dialogues with the goal of establishing mutually compatible norms and obligations. Eventually, bilateral norms could be integrated into broader alliances, treaties, and agreements. We advocate building on areas of consensus while exploring norms that relate to U.S. values. For example, the principle of freedom of speech in cyberspace requires careful consideration in the light of the capability for authentication of messages and the fact that some speech is criminal and should not be protected. The power of the Internet lies in its openness, which must be balanced against, for instance, the need for resilience under attack, protection of privacy, and attribution. Since most cyber infrastructure and expertise lie in the private sector, we propose establishing public-priave partnerships. These partnerships would: identify norms for U.S. actions in cyberspace that the private sector could embrace; discuss the consequences of these actions; encourage best practices internationally; assist with creating international cooperative arrangements to share information on cyber attacks and responses. The goal would be to establish a multinational cooperative response mechanism, which would promote confidence in the ability to sustain cyber stability -- From Executive Summary.
Download or read book The Normative Order of the Internet written by Matthias C. Kettemann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is order on the internet, but how has this order emerged and what challenges will threaten and shape its future? This study shows how a legitimate order of norms has emerged online, through both national and international legal systems. It establishes the emergence of a normative order of the internet, an order which explains and justifies processes of online rule and regulation. This order integrates norms at three different levels (regional, national, international), of two types (privately and publicly authored), and of different character (from ius cogens to technical standards). Matthias C. Kettemann assesses their internal coherence, their consonance with other order norms and their consistency with the order's finality. The normative order of the internet is based on and produces a liquefied system characterized by self-learning normativity. In light of the importance of the socio-communicative online space, this is a book for anyone interested in understanding the contemporary development of the internet. This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.

Download or read book Critical Infrastructure Protection written by Javier Lopez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of the so-called Critical Infrastructure (CI), and particularly the Critical Information Infrastructure (CII), which not only forms one of the constituent sectors of the overall CI, but also is unique in providing an element of interconnection between sectors as well as often also intra-sectoral control mechanisms. The 14 papers of this book present a collection of pieces of scientific work in the areas of critical infrastructure protection. In combining elementary concepts and models with policy-related issues on one hand and placing an emphasis on the timely area of control systems, the book aims to highlight some of the key issues facing the research community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
