BACKGROUND:
Physical War is governed by several conventions and treaties, including the Hague Convention (1907), the United Nations Charter, Article 2 (1945), and the Geneva Convention (1949). Requirements for conventional warfare include a formal declaration, time period for a response, and a moderated response to limited hostile actions.
The same constraints and limitations for physical combat may not be realistic in a virtual battlefield due to the nature of cyber-attack vectors and integration of critical infrastructure.
ASSIGNMENT:
For this assignment, answer the following:
1)Describe the issues between conventional warfare and Cyber Warfare from the standpoint of limited operations, declaration of war, and determining when hostile actions have been initiated.
2)Describe the process for declaring war based on a cyber act of hostility verses a physical act of hostility.
3)Given a hostile nation attack (theoretical or with proof of a past event) upon the US Power Grid and Telecommunications systems, what would be an appropriate measured response?
Organization: Small intro paragraph at the beginning including an overview of the assignment questions. Headings and Subheadings should be used to organize your paper (as in the example provided to answer each part of the paper). Attached are required sources to READ in order to have enough background knowledge, if no PDF is attached please use the link in the sources document provided. You are allowed to use other scholar sources if you need it to explain answers more in depth (U.S. Based sources only). The sources document is numbered so that they can easily be put in the reference page of the assignment. Only allowed a maximum of 6% being directly quoted material. The reference page would have references with links in standard APA style as seen in the example attached. The template document was added to show the flow and structure of past papers.
