Cyberwar, scenarios of confrontation (DIEEEO18-2014)

The development of Internet in the 90s delimits a before and after in the global socio-economic behavior. The volume of the operations carried out on the network growing in parallel with the threats, to become a risk that compromised national security. Thus was born the concept of cyber weapons, programs to inflict such harm, that some have tried to equate with nuclear weapons. The increased importance of the attacks, the inability to reliably assign the authorship of them and the lack of legal repercussions are bound to unpredictable consequences, forcing governments to consider a debate: defense or attack an enemy who is hidden in the "fog of the network".
