This report, exploring issues of cyberattack and cyberexploitation in US policy, was produced by the National Research Council's Committee on Offensive Information Warfare. Rather than examine current policy and capabilities, the report aims to provide a framework for understanding the basic technologies of cyberwarfare, the types of effects that cyberattacks might have, and the policy goals that cyberwarfare might serve. It also addresses legal and ethical considerations and suggests analytical tools for thinking about cyberattack policy. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
