Philippe Baumard, The regulation of counter-measures against cyber-warfare
The regulation of cyberspace has grown into an international effort where public, private and sovereign interests often collide. By analyzing the particular case of the regulation of counter-measures, this chapter investigates the difficulty in obtaining a global agreement on the regulation of cyber-warfare. A review of the motives for dis-agreement between parties suggests that the current regulation framework is not tailored for the current technological change in the cyber-security domain. The article suggests a paradigm shift in handling and anchoring cyber-regulation into a new realm of behavioral and cognitive sciences, and their application to machine learning and cyber-defense.
