The research describes a 150-year-old series of Geneva Conventions relating to cyberwar. However, a precise answer to the question is impossible because no one has actually defined the term \u0022cyberwar\u0022 and reaching broad agreement on a definition seems problematic at best. . . .So it appears that cyberspace is emulating the real world, and countries are finding common ground in taking steps to implement existing treaty provisions and avoiding the escalation of cyber conflict even if they cannot define cyberwar.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERead full \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/s\/article\/9180469\/Is_cyberwar_lawful_\u0022\u003EComputerworld Article\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAnthony (Tony) Rutkowski is currently the Vice-President for Regulatory Affairs within the Communication Services Division at VeriSign, Inc.- the leading global provider of trusted infrastructure and identity services for the Internet, telecommunications, and e-commerce sectors.
