| | Selbstdarstellung: | | Arms Control in Cyberspace Perspectives for Peace Policy in the Age of Computer Network Attacks International Conference June 29 - 30, 2001 Heinrich Böll Foundation, Berlin/Germany "Cyberwar" is about to come. The United States have been making use of data networks for military purposes for some years now. While they have already established a Unit for Computer Network Attacks, other states like Russia and China only recently started to pay attention to this new 'battlefield'. The German armed forces are also currently working on their first doctrine for "Information Operations" which will include the offensive use of cyberspace. This development can lead to a new electronic arms race which still can be slowed down and maybe brought to a halt. At the same time the risk of hacker attacks on critical infrastructures is often discussed as "cyberwar", and the security policy agencies of many states are using this discussion to demand expanded competences. An adequate strategy to deal with this problem should be developed in co-operation with the mostly private infrastructure operators, but also with privacy rights groups. The strategy should be acceptable for everybody involved and at the same time avoid repression and encourage preparation. The military use of cyberspace and the defense of civil data networks are two sides of the same development which can lead to a militarisation of global data networks. A new "cyber peace policy" is necessary. At this conference we will discuss new possibilities of cyber arms control. The aim is to map out new civil strategies on the borderline of foreign and security policy, technology policy, economic policy and domestic policy. Coming to grips with this complexity requires a multidisciplinary and inter-agency debate. We will evaluate concepts of arms control and disarmament and assess their usability for the new realm of "computer network attacks" and outline a "Memorandum for the peaceful use of cyberspace". The conference will bring together actors from various disciplines, policy fields and traditions of thought to support the civil development of computer utilisation. |
