The implications of cybercrime for national security

Abstract

This study aims to identify the general aspects concerning the elements of correspondence between the notion of cybercrime and the field of national security by analysing the regulatory and institutional framework. Electronic information concerning national security requires concrete measures for its identification and control, as its alteration, theft, or modification may constitute a source of vulnerability for the security of the State and its citizens. In this respect, the architecture of the regulatory framework we are considering concerns national security provisions and the protection of classified information.
