Confidence & Trust
How to Build it in the Digital Domain
5th part of our digital dicussion series "Cyberwarfare - Cyberpeacebuilding: On a Search for a Cooperative Security Architecture Cyberspace"
18.05.2021
Thema
Confidence Building Measures (CBMS) were in particular prominent between nuclear powers during the Cold War era. CBMS are meant to address, prevent, or resolve uncertainties among rivals in order to avert unwanted escalations and preserve fragile stability in times of intensified power competition. In recent years, CBMS were introduced into the cyber domain and several organizations – such as the OSCE, the African Union, the G7 or the G20 – gained experience with trust and confidence-building initiatives. Future efforts to establish a cooperative security architecture in cyberspace, will therefore most likely grant CBMS a prominent role. Against this background, it is the purpose of this workshop session to take stock of the CBMS lessons that were made in the past and elaborate on ideas on how these measures could be improved in the future within the cyber domain.

is a physicist and peace researcher at TU Dortmund University, Germany. Since 1985 he has studied scientific-technical problems of disarmament. An experimental focus is automatic sensor systems for co-operative verification of disarmament and peace agreements and for IAEA safeguards for an underground final repository. The second focus is assessment of new military technologies and preventive arms control, including verification. Studies have dealt with “non-lethal” weapons, civilian and military technologies in aviation, military uses of microsystems technology and of nanotechnology, armed uninhabited/autonomous vehicles and confidence and security building measures for cyber forces.

is a Senior Fellow with the Observer Research Foundation America’s Cyberspace Cooperation Initiative. His research focuses on the implications of emerging information technology on cybersecurity, risk, and international security. His recent report “Weathering TechNationalism” examines trustworthiness and security in global ICT supply chains and outlines a framework to build trust and manage third-party risk. Prior to joining ORF America, Andreas was a Senior Program Associate at the EastWest Institute, where he led the Institute’s cyber research portfolio. He was a Cybersecurity Fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation, where he researched vulnerability markets and disclosure arrangements and was an adjunct researcher at the RAND Corporation, where he worked on cyber risk assessment and pricing in the insurance industry.
