Abstract:

With the progressive digitisation and use, in particular, of the internet of things and artificial intelligence by industries, commerce, financial services, science and education, the public administration, health services as well as individuals, our society and daily life gets more and more dependent on the security of the net: cybersecurity. The new risks are self-made, a threat to almost everybody and new in kind. And they have a global dimension. For the difficulty of attribution of cyber attacks traditional concepts of deterrence and defence are not a solution. Given the new conditions of the ‘digital constellation’ this article aims at exploring instruments and methods of cybersecurity governance in a broad sense, learning from internet governance and taking a constitutional perspective. It is based upon shared responsibility, resilience and citizens’ participation in the making and future application of an inclusive global rule-making system. Multi-stakeholder mechanisms are combined with deliberative processes, standardisation and legislative action. In accordance with the principles of global constitutionalism this new framework of global rule generation would emerge as a common democratic instrument of people to meet common challenges in addition and complementary to action for cybersecurity at the local, regional, national and supranational levels.

21 For explanation of these terms see e.g. Digital Attack Map, ‘What is a DDoS Attack?, at <https://www.digitalattackmap.com/understanding-ddos/>: ‘A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources’; Techtarget, ‘Botnet’ at <http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/botnet>: ‘The term botnet is derived from the words robot and network. A bot in this case is a device infected by malware, which then becomes part of a network, or net, of infected devices controlled by a single attacker or attack group’.

22 Bannelier, K and Christakis, T, Cyber-Attacks – Prevention-Reactions: The Role of States and Private Actors, Les Cahiers de la Revue Défense Nationale (Paris 2017) 11Google Scholar: ‘the extreme complexity of the problem, marked by the great diversity of the actors involved: potential perpetrators of cyber-attacks (States, ‘‘proxies’’, private actors supported or tolerated by States, terrorists, cybercriminals, companies conducting espionage or wanting to gain a competitive advantage, individual hackers, patriotic hacker groups, etc.); potential victims of attacks (States, administrations and communities, companies, media, individuals, etc.); those involved in these attacks (e.g. the States through which cyber-attacks transit, companies and individuals whose systems are used by the attackers without the knowledge of the owners); and, finally, those to be potentially involved in a response to a cyber-attack (States, private companies acting for their own benefits, private companies undertaking a response on behalf of another company, etc.)’.

23 For a conceptualisation of governance as ‘flexible coordination’ see Hoffmann, J, Katzenbach, C and Gollatz, K, ‛Between Coordination and Regulation: Finding the Governance in Internet Governance’ (2016) New Media & Society, also at <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2836068>Google Scholar 19: ‘Governance, we propose, should be defined as coordinating coordination or reflexive coordination, because it questions and potentially redefines the rules of the game.’

25 Industry representatives, though, claimed at the international conference titled ‛Construire la paix et la sécurité internationales de la société numérique’ at UNESCO in Paris on 6–7 April 2017 (<https://www.ssi.gouv.fr/uploads/2017/03/jesuisinternet-today_programme_20170404.pdf>) that the capabilities exist to technically retrieve the origin of a cyber-attack, but they would not give any names, for the offender may be their own client (some capability of this kind seems also to be behind the proposal of Microsoft, referred to in n 40 below).

26 Private IT undertakings, however, claim that they are able to attribute cyber-attacks, and offer a public–private partnership. See the account by Bannelier and Christakis (n 22) 57–8, stating, however: ‘this occult and informal “partnership” in attribution is, as it has been pointed out correctly, tenuous and even dangerous’.

27 Interestingly, it is the renowned expert of constitutionalism Häberle who qualifies the ‘spaces of the internet today as a partially law-free “status naturalis” to be developed into a “status culturalis”’ (my translation); see Häberle, P, ‘Stichworte zum heutigen Konstitutionalismus – eine deutsche Sicht’ in Häberle, Vergleichende Verfassungstheorie und Verfassungspraxis.
