- Cyberwar – Russia the usual suspectPublication . Magalhaes, Sérgio Tenreiro de; Santos, Henrique; Santos, Leonel Duarte dos; Jahankhani, HamidThe evolution of the technology and the changes in the organization and control of the critical infrastructures of nations are creating a new combat front. The cases studied in this paper relate to the attack to the information systems and services of Estonia, in May 2007, and Georgia, in August 2008, occurring at the same time as the conventional military operation executed by the Russian Federation’s army in the South Ossetia. The Russian Federation has been repeatedly accused of this operations, but the data collected raises doubts and in the second case-study showed the existence of a poorly organized network, related to Russian criminal organizations, supporting the possibility of this being an instance of the Maoist concept of the “People’s war”. This paper will also show that, despite the unsophisticated resources used in most of the attacks and to promote them, the damages in the selected targets were considerable.

- The People’s Republic of China: the emerging cyberpowerPublication . Tenreiro De Magalhaes, Sérgio; Rios, Maria José; Santos, Leonel; Jahankhani, HamidThe People’s Republic of China (PRC) has a long tradition on military strategy. In the end of the 20 th century this was one of the first nations to prepare itself for the new emerging concept of war that includes the combat in cyberspace, both with the intention to obtain privileged information (espionage), to reduce the enemy attack and/or military capability or even to create casualties. This paper presents an overview on the known facts on this issue, concluding on an urgent need to improve the security technologies and policies of the digital systems used by the governments, namely in what concerns to authentication processes and the need for occidental countries to prepare personnel with knowledge on the culture, on the language and on the thought of the PRC, so that they can be ready for the next steps of this (re)emerging nation.
