Abstract:
Before turning to some hypotheticals for consideration, this chapter briefly describes the operational environment of cyberspace, to include the unique operations security challenges it presents. It then turns to a summary of the relevant law of armed conflict rules most pertinent to assessing the lawfulness of conducting cyber operations by means of covered or concealed infrastructure or methods—the rules governing perfidy; the improper use of flags, signs, or symbols; ruses and other permissible deception; and the passive obligation of distinction.
