- - - - In terms of national security:
        
        attempts to manipulate the processes and products of information technology to either intrude on the cyberspace of individuals or national security systems that use information tech as part of ther operating base
    - - include threats to the state and its people from electronic networks and virtual reality
    - - Place where cyber activity occurs
      - Largest unregulated and uncontrolled domain in the history of mankind
      - internet environment through which ideas flow and the domain of information technology structures
    - - apart of another form of activities
      - A type of activity
    - - Protection of computer based information and applications in cyberspace that harm the entity that needs protecting
        
        Emphasis on designing methods and actions to protect electronic information from being stolen, compromised, or successfully attacked
        
        military:
        
        theft of military technology
        
        theft of computer dependent applications
        
        theft of gov't military secrets
        
        discovery and weaponization of new cyber-based possibilities
      - Defensive:
        
        What can be done to deny access to information, its manipulation, and uses to which it can be put
        
        Purpose: Can be vulnerable
        
        Countermeasures:
        
        assume measures to be countered
        
        Problem:
        
        1 more item...
      - Offensive:
        
        Take advantage of vulnerability
        
        discovering new applications in the cyber world
    - - operational cyber war
        
        involves the use of cyberattacks on the other side's military in the context of a physical war
        
        Closer to real war
      - Strategic cyber war
        
        a campaign of cyberattacks one entity carries out on another
      - military uses computers and operators to make one electronic device outperform the other
    - - Cyber problem
        
        No country or body has exclusive or effective power to regulate cyberspace or to enforce violations of norms and regulations which do not exist beyond those included in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty
        
        Can be done by individuals who may violate some domestic laws
        
        ex: 2016 American Elections
        
        One country attempted to violate another state's sovereignty
        
        illegal violation of sovereign states
        
        political
        
        huge security issue is the sanctity of national efforts and entities
        
        ex: Russian interference case of 2016 US Presidential Elections
        
        Spread misinformation
        
        military
        
        Attacking through cyberspace
        
        Efforts to protect or interfere with the medium can be dangerous
        
        cyberspace can provide a platform from which future capabilities will find an increasingly attractive area
        
        Hard to track culprit
        
        Questions:
        
        How can a state prevent cyberattacks without attribution?
        
        How can you punish an intruder whose guilt you know about but cannot prove
        
        How does a government respond to an invisible attacker?
  - - - Double edge sword
        
        Can provide advantage (militarily)
        
        can be used against it's creator
        
        No way to tell how it can be used against them until a new method appears
- - - - Traditional
        
        An attempt to intrude in another state's sovereignty
      - Unique
        
        New way of intruding in another state's sovereignty (through cyberspace)
    - - Employed by Putin's gov't
        
        Hard to trail after culprit
- - - - def of outer space: "the physical universe beyond earth's atomsphere"
      - Only military restriction: against placement of weapons of mass destruction (ex: nuclear weapons) in space
        
        All other activities, even cyberwar, is allowed
