A Short Course in Cyber Security
summary
Anything networked can be hacked, and with 5–10 billion devices now, soon trillions the surface of attack multiplies; the useful model is three mads: mutual assured destruction, mutual assured disruption (cyber attacks from a keyboard), and mutual assured dependence on the Internet. Stuxnet is concrete proof — Stuxnet disabled >10% of Iranian centrifuges — so the response is protocol redesign and internet hardening (IETF work, stronger cryptography, product-integrated security), new governance rules (right-to-know data access) and multinational coordination.
