The article explains the role of attribution in cyberspace and the legal, technical, and polit-ical challenges it encounters. It then goes on to discuss various proposals put forward to streamline attribution and address these challenges including those put forward by François Delerue in his article but the author remains sceptical about their viability and effectiveness and explains the reasons for such scepticism.
This article aims to assess the merits of a potential international attribution and accounta-bility mechanism for cyber operations and to offer some reflections on the possible forms and functions of such a mechanism. Various proposals have been voiced over the years, generally focusing on the creation of a non-governmental organization to investigate and attribute state-sponsored cyber operations. The mechanism proposed in this article takes a different approach and focuses on supporting States and other actors in their attribution and accountability practices, in particular by proposing and assessing standards of evidence and maintaining lists of experts.
