U.S. Spy Chief: Cyberspace Is Potential Battlefield
Last updated: 16 Oct 2000 18:49 GMT (Reuters)
By Jim Wolf
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - The head of the super-secret U.S. National
Security Agency (NSA) said on Monday that cyberspace had
become as important a potential battlefield as any other and held
out the prospect of attacking there as well as defending.
"Information is now a place," Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Hayden
told a major computer security conference here. "It is a place
where we must ensure American security as surely as ... and, sea,
air and space."
He cited moves to define the "legal structure into which we must
fit" before offensive "information operations" -- cyberattacks --
were officially added to the arsenal that U.S. commanders can use
against a foe. The NSA is the Defense Department arm that
intercepts communications worldwide.
The world of information "has taken on a dimension within which
we will conduct operations to ensure American security," Hayden
said, adding that the NSA had not been authorized to do "that
attack thing," or go on the offensive in cyberspace.
"But as the United States government begins to think about what
it should or wants to do when it is under attack, it raises a really
interesting question that we all have to work through in the
context of our overall democracy," he said.
A year ago Army Gen. Henry Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, disclosed that the United States tried to mount electronic
attacks on Serbian computer networks during the NATO air
campaign over the province of Kosovo.
"We only used our capability to a very limited degree," Shelton told
reporters at the time.
Hayden said a key challenge to the NSA today was to protect
U.S. telecommunications in a world where the adversaries might
be
"cyberterrorists, a malicious hacker or even a non-malicious
hacker."
"All can cause great harm" to the networked systems that tie the
industrialized world together, he told the conference co-sponsored
by the NSA and the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, an arm of the Commerce Department. Hayden said
the NSA, the Pentagon's code-making and code-breaking agency,
was committed to developing its partnerships with industry to
boost computer network security.
"We've done pioneering work to better protect e-commerce" as
well as to develop biometrics, ways in which computers
authenticate identities from unique traits such as fingerprints, iris
scans and voice recognition, he said.
Ultimately the NSA must become the "security statement" of the
U.S. telecommunications and computer industries, just as he views
the Air Force as the "military statement" of the aviation industry,
he said.
"How else does our society develop the tools we need to do what
it is that our agency has been charged to do?" he asked. The NSA
designs codes to protect the integrity of U.S. information systems
and searches for weaknesses in foes' systems and codes.
