This working paper shows ways in which binding rules under international law can be developed in the area of cybersecurity. Non-binding norms can be important milestones; preventive duties of protection for states (e.g., “due diligence”) can also be derived from customary international law – especially requirements regarding cooperation. States must fulfil these preventive protection obligations by taking joint action to enhance cyber security. In order to create long-term legal certainty and to holistically promote cybersecurity, a binding convention on cyber security is necessary.
In this research paper, Mika Kerttunen argues that while cyber operations may be relatively ineffective for conducting war, their peacetime employment can contribute to the outbreak of conflict due to their violent nature.
In this report, Sebastian Harnisch and Kerstin Zettl-Schabath present the HD-CY.CON cyberconflict dataset and shed light on autocratic and democratic use of proxies in cyberspace.
One year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Matthias Schulze and Mika Kerttunen put certain assumptions about the utility of cyber operations during wartime to the test.
