Three Lenses on China's Information-Age Dilemma
I examine Fiona Cunningham's Under the Nuclear Shadow: China's Information-Age Weapons in International Security. The central puzzle of Cunningham's excellent book is how China responded to the 1995–1996 Third Taiwan Crisis by developing offensive cyber operations, counterspace capabilities, and precision conventional missiles. Cunningham argues that these capabilities served as China's answer to what she calls its “limited-war dilemma”—enabling …
The Hacker and the State
Hacker and the State
The threat of cyberwar can feel very Hollywood: nuclear codes hacked, power plants melting down, cities burning. In reality, state-sponsored hacking is covert, insidious, and constant. It is also much harder to prevent. Ben Buchanan reveals the cyberwar that’s already here, reshaping the global contest for geopolitical advantage
A Self‐Report Survey
ObjectiveResearch supports an association between regularly administering standardised measures to assess client progress (progress monitoring) and improved treatment outcomes. However, some research suggests clinicians often rely heavily and solely on clinical judgement when making treatment decisions. This study was the first to explore psychologists’ implementation of progress monitoring, within an Australian clinical context.MethodA self‐repo…
The Life Cycles of Cyber Threats
Cyber vulnerabilities, and their exploits, pass through identifiable stages of life
Cryptography and Sovereignty
Encryption's new normal is changing the way in which states assert their sovereignty at home and abroad
Attributing Cyber Attacks
Who did it? Attribution is fundamental. Human lives and the security of the state may depend on ascribing agency to an agent. In the context of computer network intrusions, attribution is commonly seen as one of the most intractable technical problems, as either solvable or not solvable, and as dependent mainly on the available forensic evidence. But is it? Is this a productive understanding of attribution? — This article argues that attribution …
