A Technical and Policy Toolkit for Cyber Deterrence and Stability
Abstract:
This study seeks to assist policymakers and scholars in building a theoretical, policy, and technical framework to address cyber conflict.Based on an analysis of deterrence theory and application and prior arms control regimes, the study presents a toolkit of policies and actions for national governments based on elements of deterrence and arms control that analysis demonstrates are potentially applicable to cyber conflict.The study illustrates how these could be prospectively applied in a treaty framework to facilitate attribution of hostile cyber actions.
