“…Vulnerabilities get discovered and patched, and target systems can change their software/ hardware at their will, so the period of effectiveness for a cyber weapon is undefined, but likely to decrease the longer the vulnerability is known. This aspect is also discussed in Moore, Friedman, and Procaccia (2010).…”

“…As time passes, other parties discover vulnerabilities in a non-deterministic manner. When a party, p, discovers a vulnerability, v, we can assume that their defences are upgraded, making weapons exploiting vulnerability v ineffective against party p. Research by Moore et al (2010) proposes a similar vulnerabilitybased look but assumes the opposite, that one's own infrastructure is not patched to warn the opposing parties of discovered vulnerabilities, coming to noteworthy conclusions.…”

A Vulnerability-Based Model of Cyber Weapons and its Implications for Cyber Conflict

Throughout history, mankind has developed and employed novel weapons and countermeasures. Both offensive and defensive weapon systems are limited by the laws of nature. Consequently, military concepts and doctrines were designed by implicitly taking into account those limitations. The digital age has introduced a new class of weaponry that poses an initial challenge to the common understanding of conflict and warfare due to their different characteristics: cyber weapons. This article explores the crucial differences between the conventional weapon and cyber weapon domains, starting a debate as to what extent classical concepts and doctrines are applicable to cyberspace and cyber conflict. The authors propose a definition of cyber weapons being an instrument consisting primarily of data and knowledge, presenting them in the form of prepared and executed computer codes on or a sequence of user interactions with a vulnerable system. The authors describe a vulnerability-based model for cyber weapons and for cyber defence. This model is then applied to describe the relationship between cyber-capable actors (e.g. States). The proposed model clarifies important implications for cyber coalition-building and disarmament. Furthermore, it presents a general solution for the problem of the destruction of cyber weapons, i.e., in the context of cyber arms control.

“…42 Moore, Friedman and Procassia designed two games applicable in national security context, "vulnerability stockpiles" and "cyber hawk", with imperfect information as fundamental property and explored the trade-offs between attack and defence of information systems. 43 A comprehensive study of Sinha et.al. reported on practical application of repeated Stackelberg security games (again non-cooperative incomplete information games) in fields ranging from critical infrastructure protection, through interdicting illegal flow of drugs, weapons and money, to protecting endangered wildlife, forests and fisheries, and security in cyberspace.…”

Summary In their contest for domination in cyberspace states engage powers of technology, money, persuasion and norms. Clashes between two competing approaches resulted in the creation of two parallel working groups in the UN that address issues of international cybersecurity, including principles, norms and laws. Although there are very few treaties that deal expressly with cyber activities, normative aspirations and frequent use of imported rules and principles from other realms to cyberspace suggest the emergence of a new cyber normative regime – though, in the short term probably short of a global treaty. The substantive content of existing and potentially applicable norms to cyberspace has been examined to a great extent, but less scholarly attention has been paid to mechanisms that can produce cooperation and compliant behavior with international norms in cyberspace. This study draws inspiration from environmental agreements from procedural aspects and we identified two environmental regimes, which address problems sufficiently similar to the challenges of international cyber security and which have been the most successful in terms of cooperation. Selection of the Montreal Protocol and REDD+ mechanism was based on the following main factors: incentives in terms of game theory, capacities of actors, information and scientific uncertainty, the time of institution creation in normative lifecycle, number of actors, and asymmetry in power and positions taken among actors. Further analysis focuses on institutional design elements in the chosen cases, and examines if or under what conditions could these be used for international normative frameworks on cyberspace.
