The US' ability to engage in cyberwarfare is quickly outstripping its ability to determine when it's appropriate to do so. That's the conclusion of a report by the National Academies of Science, which evaluated the nation's cyberwarfare capacity. The report suggests that, although international law provides some rough guidelines about when it may be appropriate to loose the virtual weaponry, offensive computer weapons have properties that make them distinct from those of traditional warfare, and the US hasn't engaged in any sort of national debate or set a coherent policy that would regulate their use. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/04/national-academies-call-for-formal-cyberwarfare-policy.ars Report: U.S. needs 'transparent' policies for carrying out cyberattacks The notion that the federal government needs to create an arsenal of cyberattack capabilities to help defend U.S. interests in cyberspace is gaining considerable support as concerns heighten about online security threats aimed at critical infrastructure targets.
