Information Technology for Peace and Security, 1st ed. 2019 IT Applications and Infrastructures in Conflicts, Crises, War, and Peace
Coordonnateur : Reuter Christian
This book offers an introduction to Information Technology with regard to peace, conflict, and security research, a topic that it approaches from natural science, technical and computer science perspectives. Following an initial review of the fundamental roles of IT in connection with peace, conflict and security, the contributing authors address the rise of cyber conflicts via information warfare, cyber espionage, cyber defence and Darknets. The book subsequently explores recent examples of cyber warfare, including:
? The Stuxnet attack on Iran?s uranium refining capability
? The hacking of the German Federal Parliament?s internal communication system
? The Wannacry malware campaign, which used software stolen from a US security agency to launch ransomware attacks worldwide
Information Technology for Peace and Security breaks new ground in a largely unexplored field of study, and offers a valuable asset for a broad readership including students, educators and working professionals in computer science, IT security, peace and conflict studies, and political science.
Explores the history and dangerous future of unchecked information warfare
Describes efforts to promote cyber arms control by building trust and transparency
Establishes a new research direction: information technology for peace and security
