The global Internet has served primarily as an arena for peaceful commerce. Some
analysts have become concerned that cyberspace could be used as a potential
domain of warfare, however. Martin C. Libicki argues that the possibilities of
hostile conquest are less threatening than these analysts suppose. It is in fact
difficult to take control of other people's information systems, corrupt their
data, and shut those systems down. Conversely, there is considerable untapped
potential to influence other people's use of cyberspace, as computer systems are
employed and linked in new ways over time. The author explores both the
potential for and limitations to information warfare, including its use in
weapons systems and in command-and-control operations as well as in the
generation of "noise." He also investigates how far "friendly conquest" in
cyberspace extends, such as the power to persuade users to adopt new points of
view. Libicki observes that friendly conquests can in some instances make
hostile conquests easier or at least prompt distrust among network partners. He
discusses the role of public policy in managing the conquest and defense of
cyberspace and shows how cyberspace is becoming more ubiquitous and complex.
