Foreword
During the past year, there has been an explosion of interest in the need to create "rules of the road" for cyberspace. Unlike the domains of land, sea, air, and space, there are no agreed upon "rules of the road" for the cyber world. The first essential step in moving forward is to secure international agreement on the definitions of key terms. For years, the UN and other bodies have sponsored efforts to create agreed upon definitions of critical terminology in the cyber and information security field. These efforts have been slow and have not led to the kind of results that are needed. Many have called for Track 2 initiatives to take on the task. The EastWest Institute's Worldwide Cybersecurity Initiative and Moscow State University's Information Security Initiative agreed to create a joint effort between American and Russian experts to seek consensus definitions around three key cluster areas of cybersecurity terminology, which we call The Theatre, The Modes of Aggravation and The Art. Our experts have created this conceptual framework as way to facilitate the challenging process of creating definitions for a common international lexicon ­ a necessary first step in achieving those "rules of the road." Many colleagues from Moscow and Washington were dubious that Our fourteen colleagues, under the impressive leadership of Yaschenko, have taken on the challenge by delivering this typology terms. We believe that this effort represents a beginning that can be between our countries ­ and multilaterally. such K a rl and built an effort could succeed. Rauscher and Valery an initial twenty defined upon ­ both bilaterally,

We appreciate the invitation to present an advanced copy of this report at the Fifth International Forum "Cooperation between Government, Civil Society and Business in the Field of Information Security and Combating Terrorism" this month in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Feedback from such a distinguished forum of colleagues is welcomed and will be used to tighten our presentation to the 40-nation Second Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit in London on June 1 and 2, 2011. We look forward to moving onto the next phase of this project and trust that the work we have produced here will advance the work of many others, as we move towards the goal of seeing the international community come together and secure the breakthroughs that are so needed in the cyber and informational security field.

Preface
Herein are twenty terms that define cyber and information security. The objective for this exercise was to begin the long-overdue foundation building for broader "rules of the road" discussions regarding this emerging frontier for high-stakes conflict. There are five compelling reasons why Russia and the United States form the ideal partnership for starting such an initiative. First, a cold war between our two countries has been a central preoccupation for much of the last century. Thus follows the second, that the calculations performed by our countries about the other were successful enough to avoid the dreaded, unthinkable mutually assured destruction. In fact, the larger historical statement is that our two countries have never been at war with each other. Third, Russia and America are two of the world's cyber superpowers that have long defined the cutting edge of scientific and technical discovery and mastery. Fourth, our two countries, spanning three continents, represent very diverse histories and ideologies and nurture a proactive view for the world. Finally, both Russia and America have clear interests in worldwide stability, prosperity and peace. We are both indebted to our team members, each of who has world-class expertise in a field related to this taxonomy, its utility and its implications. These terms are submitted to the broader international community for review and improvement. This taxonomy is scheduled to be submitted for discussion at the Fifth International Forum "Cooperation between Government, Civil Society and Business in the Field of Information Security and Combating Terrorism," this April in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the EWI-IEEE Second Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit this June in London and the EWI Worldwide Security Conference this October in Brussels. In addition, consultations with members of the EWI Cyber40 and International Information Security Research Consortium (IISRC) are anticipated throughout this process. Forward with the discussion and progress!

1. Introduction



The time is past due for clarity around policies for nation-state matters of high consequence in cyberspace. Indeed there is unacceptable chaos regarding the meaning of even the most basic terms ­ cyberspace, cyber war, cyber attack, etc. Given the serious actions of the last several years in cyberspace, it is very well-reasoned to believe that, at any time, the interpretation of one of these terms could be a watershed in determining whether or not a certain cyber action would result in intensified or violent escalation. Russia and the United States form the momentum toward a useful taxonomy. their competence in the field, managing that promote worldwide stability, prospe ideal partnership for an initiative to generate the initial Among other factors, both countries are respected for of the nuclear tensions of the modern age, and interests r ity a n d p e a c e .

This document is a tangible step forward toward the goal of reasonable clarity around the taxonomy of cyber conflict. It is intended to serve as a catalyst for multilateral collaboration on the subject matter.

Objectives and Importance
Three objectives were set for this bilateral engagement. The first objective was to open genuine dialogue between subject matter experts and stakeholders from both countries. The second objective, built on the first, was to develop deeper understanding of each other's perspectives. The third objective was to establish consensus around initial definitions of critical terms for cyber and information security.2 This taxonomy is submitted for consideration, review and improvement, so that the terms can be refined and used to help enable eventual formal agreements between the two countries, and as a reference for other nation-states.3 The first two objectives were met, as is evidenced from the contents of this report. Time is needed to determine the achievement toward the third objective.4 The motivation for embarking on a joint effort to define cybersecurity terminology is quite clear. Many experts and stakeholders around the world feel that the time for international agreements, or "rules of the road," is long overdue.5

The constructions "cyber and information security" and "information and cyber security" were agreed to by the combined team to refer to the larger set of interests. In this construction, the words "cyber" and "security" are deliberately separated to accommodate the parallel construction as well as interests addressed in the following section. Elsewhere the compound word "cybersecurity" is used. 3 e.g., Track 1 4 At the time of publication, plans are underway for multiple follow up engagements for continued dialogue and implementation of the guidance provided herein. 5 Summary of Participants Polling Results, EWI IEEE First Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit, Dallas, May 2010.

For the Americans on the team, this Track 2 initiative was seen as a fulfillment of new policy for cyberspace. The 2009 White House Cyberspace Policy Review outlined several priorities for the U.S., naming international cooperation as its seventh point of a "Near Term Action Plan." Specifically, the objective was laid out to "strengthen our international partnerships to create initiatives that address the full range of activities, policies, and opportunities associated with cybersecurity."6 For the Russians on the team, this bilateral cooperation was seen as fulfilling United Nations guidance to develop taxonomy. They cited the June 2010 Report of the UN Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security, which recommended "further steps for the development of confidence-building and other measures to reduce the risk of misperception resulting from ICT disruptions: ... (v) Finding possibilities to elaborate common terms and definitions relevant to General Assembly resolution 64/25."7 Thus the go in different confidencein the arena a l w a s n o t to s im p ly h a rm o n iz e e x is tin g c y b e rs e c u rity te rm s , o f w h ic h th e re a re p le n ty national documents (standards, national laws, etc.). Rather the bigger goals included building, genuine understanding and momentum for creating more expansive efforts of "rules of the road."

The expectation is for these terms to be used first in a broader international collaboration toward defining key terms and building a common taxonomy. Thus these terms have no binding effect, but rather provide an enabling function to engage stakeholders from around the world in this important and timely objective. The manifestation of their value will be in the convergence around common definitions in the coming years. Equally of value could be the sharper contrast and clarity where irresolvable differences remain. This first step is indeed a significant because it is born of Russian-American collaboration and because it is tangible progress.

Information and Cyber
One of the largest hurdles to overcome in the bilateral discussions was the fundamental disagreement on the starting point for the discussion. There were two perspectives: The Russian view of information security emphasizes the holistic span of information, where cyber is one component along with others. They see information as being either artificial or natural. Cyber is artificial, and is seen as the technical representation of information. In addition to what would be included in cyber, information also includes thoughts in one's head and information in books and documents. Further, the Russians see a logical assumption that a discussion should encompass all information, and not just a subset (i.e. cyber).

The Russian word most equivalent to security of information includes se factors (i.e. cyber). It also considers be an essential aspect of "information

the English "security" denotes "protection." Their view of veral dimensions: human, social, spiritual and technical protecting the population from terrorism and censorship to security." 8

The Americans are more interested in addressing data in the emerging electronic infrastructures. They acknowledge that other information exists outside of the "cyber" arena, but feel that this is not where the need for focus is at this time. In the bilateral effort they wanted the focus to be more narrowly on the emerging cyberspace. Beyond this, there were other reasons why Americans were interested in focusing on "cybersecurity." For one, Americans do not see information protection as something that should include censorship, or any attempt to control the population's awareness. The thinking being that the most aware and educated population is best able to defend against harmful information. Finally, the American team believed that a government would be acting inappropriately if it used psychological operations on its citizens. After acknowledging these differences in perspectives, an agreement was reached to restrict discussion to cyber, which was acknowledged by the combined team as being a subset of the "information" superset. More specifically, resolution came about when both sides agreed to move forward by (i) acknowledging the broader scope of "information," (ii) recognizing that "cyber" was a subset of this larger scope, and (iii) focusing on "cyber" because it is the area that required the most attention.

Scope
There are three parameters that best define the boundaries of this discussion. These are (i) the initial parties being Russia and the U.S.9, (ii) the focus being `information and cyber security,' with the initial discussion limited to the latter, and (iii) the nature of the work is to draft definitions and propose taxonomy to seed multilateral conversations.

Critical Information Space was defined as the aggregate of elements of information space that are identified as essential by national government or by international agreements.

As a Track 2 collaborative effort, these individuals were not official government authorities. The leaders of both expert groups provided periodic briefings to their respective stakeholders in Moscow and Washington, D.C. The collective experience of these experts exceeds several hundred years and includes the broad range of expertise needed for an examination of the subject matter.

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: Cyber has roots in the Greek word meaning skilled in steering or governing. The term "cybernetics" is widely recognized as being coined in the book Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (MIT Press, 1948). The author, Norbert Wiener, applied the term to in the context of the control of complex systems in the animal world and in mechanical networks. The term would later be used in the medical community in reference to the integration of humans or animals with machinery. However, since cyber has been introduced it has taken on several meanings. The term is used effectively in business, law and policy. The term currently has highly useful application in that it can readily provide a reference to the other than physical, virtual world created by the Internet and other electronic communications. On the other hand, cyberspace does not exist without the physical ingredients from which it is composed. The compound word's inclusion of the word "space" implies that it should have dimension. That is, cyberspace must occupy an expanse. In addition, cyberspace is considered by some as a new domain like land, sea space, outerspace. However, as these for were natural, cyber is artificial, being created by man. Known definitions were consulted during this process. The U.S. Department of Defense has a documented definition as "A global domain within the information environment consisting of the interdependent network of information technology infrastructures, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers." See Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, U.S. Department of Defense, 31 January 2011. Pages 92 93. (CJCS CM 0363 08)

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: The cyber infrastructure consists of the eight essential ingredients of 1. Environment (buildings, locations of cell towers, space where satellites orbit, sea floors where cables are laid, etc.), 2. Power (electricity, batteries, generators, etc.), 3. Hardware (semiconductor chips, electronic cards and circuit packs, metallic and fiber optic transmission facilities, etc.), 4. Software (source code, complied programs, version control and management, databases, etc.), 5. Networks (nodes, connections, topologies, etc.), 6. Payload (information transported across the infrastructure, traffic patterns and statistics, information interception, information corruption, etc.), 7. Human (designers, implementers, operators, maintenance staff, etc.), and 8. Policy, or more completely Agreements, Standards, Policies and Regulations (ASPR). Rauscher, Karl F., Protecting Communications Infrastructure, Bell Labs Technical Journal ­ Special Issue: Homeland Security, Volume 9, Issue 2, 2004. The worldwide trend is for more and more legacy infrastructure to become reliant upon computers and networked, thus becoming more integrated with cyberspace.

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: A cyber service is provided by an application. This application may be provided by processes and data that are distributed throughout cyberspace. This means that the systems can be located in a wide variety of actual geographic locations. Cyber services can be online or offline, performed by local or remote processing, in real time or completed by time delayed connectivity or processing. These cyber services must now be viewed as an open ended concept, as many new services are expected that have not even been imagined yet (i.e. IPv6 potential to have a vastly larger number of connected entities).

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: The most critical infrastructures are often those providing communications, energy, transportation, financial services and continued operation of government. Thus the computers and network operations required for the basic operation of the most important aspects of these sectors are critical. Some countries are more fully dependent on critical cyber infrastructure than others. This is partially due to increased sophistication and partially due to the loss of a low tech back up option.

2.2 The Modes of Aggravation
This section presents consensus definitions for five terms, namely: cyber crime, cyber terrorism, cyber conflict, cyber war and cybersecurity. The later being the state of nonaggravation. The key distinction for cyber crime is that laws are broken. Likewise, a key distinction for cyber war is that it involves political actors. Cyber conflict is a state that is on a continuum with war, but falls short of a critical threshold. The five definitions are presented here.

Cyber Crime16

16

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: Given the considerable established laws that define criminal activity, the Cyber Crime term is deliberately designed to immediately reference existing legal structures. It is understood that jurisdictional considerations have an integral role in application of this term. Complexities arise when activities are performed by an individual in one country, utilizing cyber resources in another (second) country, and affecting someone, organization or other entity in still another (third) country. Cyber criminals are increasingly being categorized as significant Non State Actors. The Convention on Cybercrime (2001) is the first international treaty seeking to harmonize cyber crime legislations across countries. It was drawn up by the Council of Europe with the United States participating as an observer. The U.S. has ratified the treaty, whereas Russia has not.

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: War exists as a state or condition between or among belligerent parties. War has usually different phases. Cyber conflict usually precedes cyber war. There is a tendency of conventional war to include cyber warfare. If there are no political actors, then there is not a war. Cyber war can be more than strictly a military activity, especially at the outset, i.e. an intelligence operation. Cyber war can be conducted in different ways by different groups. Known definitions were consulted during this process. A recent EWI Russia U.S. Bilateral on Critical Infrastructure Protection Report introduced the concept of an "Other Than War" mode [see Recommendation 5 of: Rauscher, Karl Frederick; Korotkov, Andrey, Working Towards Rules Governing Cyber Conflict ­ Rendering the Geneva and Hague Conventions in Cyberspace, EastWest Institute Russia U.S. Bilateral on Critical Infrastructure Protection, January 2011].

Commentary Important considerations are included in the "information and cyber" discussion presented in Section 1. The Russian word for "security" connotes protection, but not the additional meanings understood with the English term such as the means used to provide protection. Known definitions were consulted during this process. Of interest is research that underscores the original concept of being secure is most oriented around a sense of being safe.

2.3 The Art
This section presents consensus definitions for nine terms, namely: cyber warfare, cyber attack, cyber counter-attack, cyber defensive countermeasure, cyber defense, cyber defensive capability, cyber offensive capability, cyber exploitation and cyber deterrent. It is noted here that one key term yet to be presented is that of "cyber weapon." This is significant in that several of the definitions make reference to it. Thus this is one of the terms being considered for focus during the next phase of this work.21 The five definitions are presented here.

21

The EWI Russia U.S. Bilateral on Critical Infrastructure Protection recently offered considerable definition of a cyber weapons in the context of a system of four dispensations that are delineated by infrastructure type and weapon type. Of note from this discussion, are the observations that cyber weapons are both traditional weapons that are enhanced with ICT and purely ICT capabilities [see Section 3 of: Rauscher, Karl Frederick; Korotkov, Andrey, Working Towards Rules Governing Cyber Conflict ­ Rendering the Geneva and Hague Conventions in Cyberspace, EastWest Institute Russia U.S. Bilateral on Critical Infrastructure Protection, January 2011].

Cyber Attack23
is a.an offensive buse of a cyber weapon cintended to harm a designated target.




, [],




23

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following. The word "harm" includes degrading, inhibiting ­ temporary or permanent. An attack is only effective if it exercises an intrinsic vulnerability. A cyber attack is defined by the weapon type and not the nature of the target. Thus, a cyber attack can be either a cyber weapon against a non cyber asset or a cyber asset. But a cyber attack is not a non cyber weapon against a non cyber asset or cyber asset. See the previous footnote for additional insights and reference material. Questions that the combined team left unresolved include whether the following would constitute an attack: propaganda, web site control, and an email campaign. Known definitions were consulted during this process. The NATO Standardization Agency (NSA) has defined "computer network attack / attaque de rИseaux informatiques " (CNA) as "Action taken to disrupt, deny, degrade or destroy information resident in a computer and/or computer network, or the computer and/or computer network itself," with a note that "A computer network attack is a type of cyber attack." AAP 6 (2010) NATO Glossary of Terms and Definitions (English and French), 22 January 2010, page 2 C 12. This is the only use of the word "cyber" in this NATO publication. In compliance with the request of the custodian of the publication, written notification of the use of this definition here has been provided to the NSA.

24

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: A cyber counter attack may be asymmetrical. Thus a cyber counter attack can be either a cyber weapon against a non cyber asset or against a cyber asset. But is not a non cyber weapon against a non cyber asset or cyber asset. Thus, like a cyber attack, it is defined by weapon type and not the nature of the target. Known definitions were consulted during this process.

25

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: The inclusion of this term in this initial taxonomy related to defense is important because it helps explain the legitimate interest of nation states to invest in the development of capabilities that may be needed to protect their interests. Cyber defensive countermeasures are actions taken by a party as part of a defensive strategy during or after an attack on the interests of the party. A countermeasure may be "active" or "passive. An active countermeasure could react to an attack by attempting to disrupt the attacker. A passive countermeasure could enhance a party's protection level of its interests.

Commentary Important considerations for this term include the following: Cyber defense refers to actions taken by a party to protect the interests of the party in anticipation of an attack. The inclusion of this term in this initial taxonomy related to defense is important because it helps explain the legitimate interest of nation states to invest in the development of capabilities that may be needed to protect their interests. Effective defense in electronic systems is typically based on detection, isolation, reporting, recovery and neutralization. The ability to absorb an attack may be an effective defensive strategy. An attack is only effective if it exercises an intrinsic vulnerability Known definitions were consulted during this process.

3. Next Steps



This joint paper presents twenty consensus terms that have been agreed upon by experts from Russia and the United States. The terms are some of the most critical to defining and understanding "rules of the road" for conflict in the emerging cyber and information space. There have been multiple attempts for a Russian-American glossary for cyber terms for more than a decade. They have stalled for some of the reasons discussed throughout. This is the first to bear the intended fruit. This joint team has accomplished something with this beginning taxonomy that it hopes can be improved upon in the coming months and years. While twenty terms are a small step for most lexicons, these terms represent a significant stride, as they are the beginning of a path that must be taken if the emerging information and cyber domain is to be tamed. The next steps include addressing "information" and "information security" more rigorously and likewise defining the relationship between these terms. Next steps also include broadening the discussion to a multilateral one. This means ensuring input from EWI's Cyber40 and International Information Security Research Consortium (IISRC). Specific planned outreach events include multilateral engagement in: · The Fifth International Forum, "Cooperation between Government, Civil Society and Business in the Field of Information Security and Combating Terrorism" this April in Garmisch-Partenkirchen; The EWI-IEEE Second Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit this June in London; The EWI Worldwide Security Conference this October in Brussels.

· ·

The team looks forward to the rigorous engagement that is sure to follow, to the refinement of this taxonomy that is worth the effort given the stakes for the world, and to the benefits it can offer to a world that is wandering in information and cyberspace without much-needed reference points.
