International Law and Kinetic
Warfare
▪ Categories of the laws of warfare
• Jus ad bellum, Latin for “the right to war”
• Jus in bello, Latin for “the law of war”
▪ Legal review and legality of actions
• Legal authority to determine what is/is not legal
according to international law resides with

Cyberwarfare Law
▪ Cyberwarfare in a kinetic warfare context
• Example: Stuxnet aimed at Iran’s uranium
enrichment facilities
▪ Kinetic warfare law in a cyber context
• Kinetic warfare crosses over into cyberwar when
combatants respond to or preempt cyberattacks
using traditional means of warfare

Ethics and Cyberwarfare
▪ Ethical standards in existing international law
• Self-defense
• Proportionality
• Limitations on targets
▪ Common concepts in codes of ethics
• Appropriate use of skills and capabilities
• Professionalism

The Tallinn Manual
▪ An in-depth review and analysis that provides
nonbinding advice based on existing
international body of law around armed conflict
and related topics
▪ Is a response to:
• Focus on cyberattacks by nation-states and
nonstate actors
• The challenges those attacks provide when
nation-states attempt to determine if their
activities or those of their attackers are covered
by international law

Overview of Intelligence
Operations
▪ Intelligence: The collection, analysis, and
dissemination of information about the
capabilities, plans, intentions, and operations of
an adversary
▪ May take place at behest of nations or nonstate
actors seeking to gain an advantage over a
military, political, criminal, or business
adversary

Overview of Intelligence
Operations (Cont.)
▪ Using repeatable, organized approach to
intelligence collection and analysis ensures that
nations can:
• Prioritize use of intelligence resources
• Gather information needed by decision makers
at policymaking, strategic, and tactical levels

Supporting Offensive
Cyberwarfare
▪ Providing information about potential targets
▪ Collecting information about cyberwar
capabilities of third parties and using
information to “frame” a third party as the
source of an attack

Supporting Defensive
Cyberwarfare
▪ Gathering information about adversaries
through intelligence
▪ May leverage HUMINT, SIGINT, and other
traditional methods

Supporting Defensive
Cyberwarfare (Cont.)
▪ Intelligence operations attempt to answer:
• Who are potential adversaries?
• What are adversaries’ technical capabilities?
• What are cyberwarfare opponents’ plans and
intentions?
• What signs warn of impending attack?
• How will adversary make decisions about using
cyberwarfare techniques?
• How will adversary communicate orders to engage
in cyberwarfare?
