Cybersecurity by
An accessible guide to cybersecurity for the everyday user, covering cryptography and public key infrastructure, malware, blockchain, and other topics. It seems that everything we touch is connected to the internet, from mobile phones and wearable technology to home appliances and cyber assistants. The more connected our computer systems, the more exposed they are to cyber attacks--attempts to steal data, corrupt software, disrupt operations, and even physically damage hardware and network infrastructures. In this volume of the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, cybersecurity expert Duane Wilson offers an accessible guide to cybersecurity issues for everyday users, describing risks associated with internet use, modern methods of defense against cyber attacks, and general principles for safer internet use. Wilson describes the principles that underlie all cybesecurity defense- confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation (validating the source of information). He explains that confidentiality is accomplished by cryptography; examines the different layers of defense; analyzes cyber risks, threats, and vulnerabilities; and breaks down the cyber kill chain and the many forms of malware. He reviews some online applications of cybersecurity, including end-to-end security protection, secure ecommerce transactions, smart devices with built-in protections, and blockchain technology. Finally, Wilson considers the future of cybersecurity, discussing the continuing evolution of cyber defenses as well as research that may alter the overall threat landscape.

Technology, Policy, Law, and Ethics Regarding U. S. Acquisition and Use of Cyberattack Capabilities by
The United States is increasingly dependent on information and information technology for both civilian and military purposes, as are many other nations. Although there is a substantial literature on the potential impact of a cyberattack on the societal infrastructure of the United States, little has been written about the use of cyberattack as an instrument of U.S. policy. Cyberattacks--actions intended to damage adversary computer systems or networks--can be used for a variety of military purposes. But they also have application to certain missions of the intelligence community, such as covert action. They may be useful for certain domestic law enforcement purposes, and some analysts believe that they might be useful for certain private sector entities who are themselves under cyberattack. This report considers all of these applications from an integrated perspective that ties together technology, policy, legal, and ethical issues. Focusing on the use of cyberattack as an instrument of U.S. national policy, Technology, Policy, Law and Ethics Regarding U.S. Acquisition and Use of Cyberattack Capabilities explores important characteristics of cyberattack. It describes the current international and domestic legal structure as it might apply to cyberattack, and considers analogies to other domains of conflict to develop relevant insights. Of special interest to the military, intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security communities, this report is also an essential point of departure for nongovernmental researchers interested in this rarely discussed topic.

The Loop by
This eye-opening narrative journey into the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence reveals the dangerous ways AI is exploiting the unconscious habits of our minds--and the real threat it poses to humanity. "The best book I have ever read about AI." -Roger McNamee, New York Times bestselling author of Zucked Artificial intelligence is going to change the world as we know it. But the real danger isn't some robot that's going to enslave us: It's our own brain. Our brains are constantly making decisions using shortcuts, biases, and hidden processes--and we're using those same techniques to create technology that makes choices for us. In The Loop, award-winning science journalist Jacob Ward reveals how we are poised to build all of our worst instincts into our AIs, creating a narrow loop where each generation has fewer, predetermined, and even dangerous choices. Taking us on a world tour of the ongoing, real-world experiment of artificial intelligence, The Loop illuminates the dangers of writing dangerous human habits into our machines. From a biometric surveillance state in India that tracks the movements of over a billion people, to a social media control system in China that punishes deviant friendships, to the risky multiple-choice simplicity of automated military action, Ward travels the world speaking with top experts confronting the perils of their research. Each stop reveals how the most obvious patterns in our behavior--patterns an algorithm will use to make decisions about what's best for us--are not the ones we want to perpetuate. Just as politics, marketing, and finance have all exploited the weaknesses of our human programming, artificial intelligence is poised to use the patterns of our lives to manipulate us. The Loop is call to look at ourselves more clearly--our most creative ideas, our most destructive impulses, the ways we help and hurt one another-so we can put only the best parts of ourselves into the thinking machines we create.

Ethical Hacking by
How will governments and courts protect civil liberties in this new era of hacktivism? Ethical Hacking discusses the attendant moral and legal issues. The first part of the 21st century will likely go down in history as the era when ethical hackers opened governments and the line of transparency moved by force. One need only read the motto "we open governments" on the Twitter page for Wikileaks to gain a sense of the sea change that has occurred. Ethical hacking is the non-violent use of a technology in pursuit of a cause--political or otherwise--which is often legally and morally ambiguous. Hacktivists believe in two general but spirited principles: respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression and personal privacy; and the responsibility of government to be open, transparent and fully accountable to the public. How courts and governments will deal with hacking attempts which operate in a grey zone of the law and where different ethical views collide remains to be seen. What is undisputed is that Ethical Hacking presents a fundamental discussion of key societal questions. A fundamental discussion of key societal questions. This book is published in English. - La premi re moiti du XXIe si cle sera sans doute reconnue comme l' poque o le piratage thique a ouvert de force les gouvernements, d pla ant les limites de la transparence. La page twitter de Wikileaks ench sse cet ethos m me sa devise, we open governments , et sa volont d' tre omnipr sent. En parall le, les grandes soci t s de technologie comme Apple se font comp tition pour produire des produits de plus en plus s curitaires et prot ger les donn es de leurs clients, alors m me que les gouvernements tentent de limiter et de d crypter ces nouvelles technologies d'encryption. Entre-temps, le march des vuln rabilit s en mati re de s curit augmente mesure que les experts en s curit informatique vendent des vuln rabilit s de logiciels des grandes technologies, dont Apple et Google, contre des sommes allant de 10 000 1,5 million de dollars. L'activisme en s curit est la hausse. Le piratage thique est l'utilisation non-violence d'une technologie quelconque en soutien d'une cause politique ou autre qui est souvent ambigue d'un point de vue juridique et moral. Le hacking thique peut d signer les actes de v rification de p n tration professionnelle ou d'experts en s curit informatique, de m me que d'autres formes d'actions mergentes, comme l'hacktivisme et la d sob issance civile en ligne. L'hacktivisme est une forme de piratage thique, mais galement une forme de militantisme des droits civils l' re num rique. En principe, les adeptes du hacktivisme croient en deux grands principes: le respect des droits de la personne et les libert s fondamentales, y compris la libert d'expression et la vie priv e, et la responsabilit des gouvernements d' tre ouverts, transparents et pleinement redevables au public. En pratique, toutefois, les ant c dents comme les agendas des hacktivistes sont fort diversifi s. Il n'est pas clair de quelle fa on les tribunaux et les gouvernements traiteront des tentatives de piratage eu gard aux zones grises juridiques, aux approches thiques conflictuelles, et compte tenu du fait qu'il n'existe actuellement, dans le monde, presque aucune exception aux provisions, en mati re de cybercrime et de crime informatique, li es la recherche sur la s curit ou l'int r t public. Il sera galement difficile de d terminer le lien entre hacktivisme et droits civils. Ce livre est publi en anglais.
