Abstract

This paper discusses the meaning and challenges of strategic cyber defense (SCD), and some possible strategies for dealing with these challenges. The purpose is to describe and codify the DARPA Information Assurance (IA) program's conceptual framework for defensive techniques in the cyber realm. The focus in the IA program is on cyber defense techniques for threats which are postulated to have the greatest potential impact at the strategic level of conflict. The specific resource we seek to defend is the national information infrastructure (NII), to include the subset of resources dedicated to execution of the defense mission, and commonly referred to as the defense information infrastructure (DII). The paper summarizes a definition of strategic-level conflict, what we mean by cyber defense in the IA program, and the reason for our specific focus on strategic-level cyber defense. Our current efforts to identify and develop SCD warfighting strategies are described, together with a discussion of the technical capabilities which would be needed to implement the strategies.

战略网络防御的概念

本文讨论了战略网络防御的意义和面临的挑战，以及应对这些挑战的一些可能的策略。目的是描述和编纂DARPA信息保障(IA)项目在网络领域防御技术的概念框架。IA计划的重点是针对在冲突战略层面上具有最大潜在影响的威胁的网络防御技术。我们寻求保护的具体资源是国家信息基础设施(NII)，包括专门用于执行国防任务的资源子集，通常称为国防信息基础设施(DII)。本文总结了战略级冲突的定义，我们在IA计划中对网络防御的定义，以及我们特别关注战略级网络防御的原因。本文描述了我们目前为确定和发展SCD作战战略所做的努力，并讨论了实施这些战略所需的技术能力。
