US Air Force: "CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS: Air Force Doctrine Document 3-12, 15 July 2010"
http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/shared/media/epubs/AFDD3-12.pdf FOREWORD Today, we live in a globally-networked society that is increasingly dependent upon cyberspace access and security. Our ability to gain and maintain superiority in cyberspace has become essential to our ability to deliver global reach, power, and vigilance. As an integral member of the joint warfighting team, the Air Force is committed to growing, sustaining, and presenting highly skilled and well-equipped forces to joint force commanders who can deliver decisive effects in, from, and through cyberspace, while assuring our mission against an asymmetric cyber threat. Freedom of action in the cyberspace domain enables our command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Our modern defenses, industrial base, and global commerce, as well as that of our nation’s enemies, depend on free use of land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. Leverage in cyberspace affords influence and control across all other domains. This leverage increases our forces’ access, speed, reach, stealth, and precision. Controlling the portions of cyberspace integral to our mission is a fundamental prerequisite to effective operations across the range of military operations. While we appreciate the power that cyber-enabled capabilities add, we also maintain a healthy respect for the asymmetric power that cyberspace affords our adversaries. We must maintain a constant commitment to educate, train, and equip our Airman to prevail in the contested domain of cyberspace. In the past decade, technological advances have provided the means to generate decisive and magnified effects in domains that traditionally could only be achieved via kinetic means. We must continually adapt our operating concepts to leverage emerging cyberspace capabilities to ensure the Air Force maintains the decisive advantage over our adversaries. MAURICE H. FORSYTH Major General, USAF Commander, LeMay Center for Doctrine Development and Education
Caro Juan Carlos, grazie per il documento su un argomento a mio parere interessante dal punto di vista intellettuale e assolutamente ineludibile da quello politico. Segnalo a questo proposito che nella mia pagina Delicious raccolgo alcuni riferimenti sull'argomento: http://www.delicious.com/andreaglorioso/cyberwar (noterete che quasi tutti i link hanno sia il tag "cyberwar" che quello "cybercrime", e questo perché non sono convinto che la differenza sia sempre chiarissima) Sarei molto felice di ricevere ulteriori segnalazioni sull'argomento, in particolare per quanto riguarda paesi diversi dagli USA - che non sono certo gli unici a muoversi in questa area. Per restare all'Italia il COPASIR ha recentemente adottato la "Relazione sulle possibili implicazioni e minacce per la sicurezza nazionale derivanti dall’utilizzo dello spazio cibernetico" (http://www.parlamento.it/documenti/repository/commissioni/bicamerali/COMITAT...) Tra i miei bookmark, segnalo in particolare: Schneier on Security: The Threat of Cyberwar Has Been Grossly Exaggerated http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/07/the_threat_of_c.html Multilateral Agreements to Constrain Cyberconflict | Arms Control Association http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2010_06/Lewis#16 Obstacles and Options for Cyber Arms Controls http://faculty.nps.edu/dedennin/publications/Berlin.pdf Proceedings of a Workshop on Deterring CyberAttacks: Informing Strategies and Developing Options for U.S. Policy http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12997#description Technology, Policy, Law, and Ethics Regarding U.S. Acquisition and Use of CYBERATTACK CAPABILITIES http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12651&page=R1 A presto, Andrea On 10/25/2010 10:26 AM, J.C.

Caro Andrea, grazie a te per i commenti e i link. Sull'argomento ho appena segnalato un lungo articolo di Hersh (premio Pulitzer) appena apparso sul The New Yorker. Ricordo inoltre che Bruce Sterling aveva parlato di cyberspace e cyberwar durante il suo memorabile keynote speech il 30 giugno 2010 a University & Cyberspace: http://www.celm.polito.it/polistream/gestione/pagina.php?id=248 In sintesi: l'esercito ama il termine "cyberspace" perche' lo spazio si difende. E chi lo difende da sempre? L'esercito. Ciao, juan carlos Andrea Glorioso wrote (on 25/10/10 11:22):

Grazie per la segnalazione. Ho letto l'articolo, che mi pare una buona ricostruzione di alcune delle discussioni piu` salienti sul tema. Mi pare particolarmente interessante il richiamo alla distinzione tra "cyber-espionage" e "cyber-war", anche se non mi sembra che l'articolo vada sino in fondo ad una delle domande di base, ovvero se e quando le politiche economiche (piu` o meno legali) divengano, in quanto strumento di dominio sull'avversario, qualcosa di equiparabile alla guerra. Non bisogna dimenticare che la difesa degli interessi economici e`, in molti casi, parte integrante della "sicurezza nazionale".
Ricordo inoltre che Bruce Sterling aveva parlato di cyberspace e cyberwar durante il suo memorabile keynote speech il 30 giugno 2010 a University & Cyberspace: http://www.celm.polito.it/polistream/gestione/pagina.php?id=248 In sintesi: l'esercito ama il termine "cyberspace" perche' lo spazio si difende. E chi lo difende da sempre? L'esercito.
Interessante. E` disponibile una trascizione dell'intervento di Sterling? A presto, Andrea
