| Specific Issues for Discussion | |||||||||||||
| * Purpose of proposal The Ukraine-Russia crisis is an important example of how ICT technology can interact with the physical layer. At a time when Internet space is currently being separated around powerful countries, it is necessary for mid-sized countries such as Korea to closely analyze and explore the relevant cases to form discourse. In addition, it is necessary to revitalize and discuss these discussions as ICT technology itself can cause enormous damage or benefits to the state. With the development of ICT technology, including the 4th Industrial Revolution, cyberspace is becoming more and more important. Currently, ICT technology is being used very comprehensively in various fields such as economy, military, environment, civil society, and individuals, and services including platforms are also being developed around cyberspace, not physical space. Cyberspace makes our lives convenient, and at the same time, it is also a space where the interests and strategies of each country or power collide. Unfortunately, despite efforts by UNGGE or OSCE, the normative agreement of each country on cyberspace has not been properly reached. In terms of economics, platforms have become a power, and in terms of security, cyberattacks can cause enormous damage to physical facilities. *Key Issues - In what ways does a collision in cyberspace occur and how can it affect reality? Also, what regulations are needed to control this - From what perspective should we look at the participation of various actors in interstate wars (e.g., private-level support is justified in the victim's position, but it can also cause numerous collateral damage as well as potential abuse) - Why has no normative agreement in cyberspace been reached, and what conflicts or difficulties exist between countries? - Will normative agreements in cyberspace be properly implemented and enforced in the future? Or what effort does it take to do so? - How will mid-sized countries lead the discourse? |

| Describe the Relevance of Your Session to APrIGF | |||||||||||||
| There is an issue of Trust and sustainability around the theme, so-called Ukraine and Cybersecurity. It is about Cybersecurity, Cyber norms, and also a discussion about interaction with the physical layer. The Ukraine-Russia crisis is an important example of how ICT technology can interact with the physical layer. At a time when Internet space is currently being separated around powerful countries, it is necessary for mid-sized countries such as Korea to closely analyze and explore the relevant cases to form discourse. In addition, beyond the dimension of discourse formation, it is necessary to revitalize and discuss these discussions as ICT technology itself can cause enormous damage or benefits to the state. In this regard, the Ukraine-Russia incident is remarkable because conflicts in cyberspace along with physical space are prominent. Before the invasion of Ukraine, it has been conducting massive attacks by distributing destructive malware such as Whispergate and Hermetic Wiper, deleting hundreds of PC data to various institutions such as finance, defense, aviation, and IT. At the same time, if the existing war was strong in terms of state-to-state, various actors, including private and businesses, are participating in this case, focusing on cyberspace. When Russia invaded Ukraine by force, international hacking groups such as Anonymous attacked the Russian government and broadcasting stations. Big tech companies such as Microsoft and Google can actively find and analyze and respond to malicious codes developed by Russia, Twitter detected hacking attempts, and YouTube deleted fake news channels, leading to wars on SNS. Whether or not the Ukraine-Russia crisis ends physically, the invisible war could continue in the future following Russia's economic sanctions or cyber-attacks on Ukraine. And malware or ransomware used as weapons in such wars can cause enormous damage to third countries that are not parties to the war. |

| The youth must be an actor, not the recipient in the field of the internet for sure. The future of cyberspace is up to the youth. The youth need to give full attention to the problem of actual fields such as internet governance. To build the discussion more concrete, we are looking for help from the expertise from the APNIC society. Damage in cyberspace, or attacks, go through several layers to reach the real layer. In terms of international norms, it is very important to define these actual damages because by accurately defining these damages, countries can effectively implement emergency relief for damage or punishment for attackers. In this respect, it may be important to know how the different layers between cyberspace and reality interact and influence. This is because specific norms can be established according to such influence, and various norms can be derived according to the nature of each layer. This Ukraine incident can be an example of how cyberspace influences conflict or war situations between countries. At the same time, these examples can be of great help in deriving practical norms. However, despite our utmost efforts, discussions may not be appropriate due to the limitations of our technical expertise. Panels with expertise in that respect can help us draw appropriate conclusions. |

| For a deeper discussion about the issue, we are in the middle of casting, especially the expertise of the technical community such as the APNIC society. First, We chose APNIC's strategic engagement director, Mr Pablo Hinojosa. He has a speciality in International relations and telecommunications regulation and policy. If he could help us build the concrete theoretical discussion, it could be full support to carry our challenge. Second, We chose APNIC's Senior advisor in Policy and Community Development, Mr Srinivas Chendi. He could provide us with advice from experience in the field of Internet infrastructure development. He can support the discussion of the physical layer. Last, APNIC's Senior advisor, Mr George Kuo, who had mastered Information Technology. He could offer a realistic point of view by sharing field experience. To be specific, He can specify the critical infrastructure damage from Cyberattacks. |
