This book offers an introduction to Information Technology with
regard to peace, conflict, and security research, a topic that it
approaches from natural science, technical and computer science
perspectives. Following an initial review of the fundamental roles
of IT in connection with peace, conflict and security, the
contributing authors address the rise of cyber conflicts via
information warfare, cyber espionage, cyber defence and Darknets.
The book subsequently explores recent examples of cyber warfare,
including: * The Stuxnet attack on Iran's uranium refining
capability * The hacking of the German Federal Parliament's
internal communication system * The Wannacry malware campaign,
which used software stolen from a US security agency to launch
ransomware attacks worldwide The book then introduces readers to
the concept of cyber peace, including a discussion of confidence
and security-building measures. A section on Cyber Arms Control
draws comparisons to global efforts to control chemical warfare, to
reduce the risk of nuclear war, and to prevent the militarization
of space. Additional topics include the security of critical
information infrastructures, and cultural violence and peace in
social media. The book concludes with an outlook on the future role
of IT in peace and security. Information Technology for Peace and
Security breaks new ground in a largely unexplored field of study,
and offers a valuable asset for a broad readership including
students, educators and working professionals in computer science,
IT security, peace and conflict studies, and political science.
