Cyberspace

Fraud, of course, is a different issue, but this kind of fraud couldn t happen—or at least, couldn t happen with such ease and frequency— in a world of paper-based records. With so much information floating about in cyberspace, and so much technology that can record and (55) observe, our privacy has been deeply compromised. 

Not all relatively new and universally recognizable cyber terms have sinister connotations or meanings, of course. Consider, for example, the following digital terms backup, binary, bit, byte, CD-ROM, CPU, database, e-mail, HTML, icon, memory, cyberspace, modem, monitor, network, RAM, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), record, software, World Wide Web—none of these terms normally generates thoughts of terrorism in most of us. 

Cyberpunk science fiction drizzles in coercive pharmacotherapy. In the quintessential cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer ] 984) an addiction" to cyberspace becomes the target not of government, but corporate retributive malice. The protagonist has his delicate nervous system damaged with the forced application of a Russian mycotoxin to punish him for data thievery. As a condition of employment, his pancreas is replaced and his liver is blocked so that he cannot experience the effects of amphetamines.

On most subjects, but especially the mystery of pregnancy, the Internet can provide absolutely any information you need to find. Itchy palms Puffy eyes More thirsty than usual It didn t take much for me to start a search. I had no idea what pregnancy would feel like, so if I noticed anything irregular, I tried to turn it into the confirmation I wanted. All I had to do was find one pregnant person in cyberspace who also happened to feel a little thirsty on day 26 of her cycle, and I could relax into a state of false hopefulness for the rest of the day. 

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the NATO sponsored Advanced Research Workshop on Cyberspace Security and Defense held at the Politechnika Gdanska in Gdansk, Poland, from September 6th to 9th, 2004. 

The workshop was an opportunity for many top experts from the North America, the Western and Eastern Europe for discussing their technical approaches to securing and defending cyberspace against many potential threats.

A NOTE ON TWO SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN CYBERSPACE SECURITY AND DEFENSE... 

One of the key discoveries was the realization that very many real networks in nature, technology (e.g., the Internet and WWW) and human relations have similar structure and growth patterns, and can be described by the same mathematical formulas. All of them share similar properties and behavior. This discovery and the new theory have created an unprecedented opportunity for investigating resilience and vulnerabilities of the Internet and the WWW. For this reason we consider the scale-free network theory and related empirical results as being a significant development in the Cyberspace Security and Defense. 

Both developments, scale-free network theory and quantum key distribution offer new opportunities for Cyberspace Security and Defense. In...
