    Cyber War and Cyber Power: Issues for NATO Doctrine

    www.ndc.nato.int/download/downloads.php?icode=230

    NATO Defense College, Rome  November 2010

    The term 'cyber war is misleading. To draw an analogy from naval thinking, since the writings of Alfred Mahan sea power rather than naval war has been the preferred strategic frame of reference for the projection of state power on the oceans. Like 'naval war', cyber war conjures up legal, policy, military, and diplomatic considerations that inappropriately narrow the scope of relevant issues. Cyber space is better thought of as a new theatre for states to exercise cyber power and not just to conduct cyber war. The projection of cyber power with both offensive and defensive elements must be a component of national and NATO security doctrine for the future.

    Attribution for Cyber Attacks (and other purposes)

    The Sisterhood of the Travelling Packets

    Matt Bishop, Carrie Gates and Jeffrey Hunker

    From a cyber-security perspective, attribution is considered to be the ability to determine the originating location for an attack. However, should such an attribution system be developed and deployed, it would provide attribution for all traffic, not just attack traffic. This has several implications for both the senders and receivers of traffic, as well as the intervening organizations, Internet service providers and nation-states. In this paper we examine the requirements for an attribution system, identifying all of the actors, their potential interests, and the resulting policies they might therefore have. We provide a general framework that represents the attribution problem, and outline the technical and policy requirements for a solution. We discuss the inevitable policy conflicts due to the social, legal and cultural issues that would surround such a system.
