초록
Viewing contemporary attempts of technologically-advanced countries to restrict outsider access to critical websites and infrastructure through the lens of the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, there has been significantly more credence given to the idea that nation-states are moving towards creating an infrastructure for national cyber borders. If successful, such a model would create new economic, social and technical problems that may pose greater threats to national security. This paper explains the drawbacks of the cyber-Westphalian model using South Korean cyber policy as a case study, and highlights the potential dangers of restricting the internet at the national level. Through data collected from South Korean computer users and secondary sources, the author finds that the implementation of national borders in cyberspace is not feasible. In addition, such a model would bring with it severe detriments to the online economy and personal freedoms, while still leaving vital systems vulnerable.
Abstract
Viewing contemporary attempts of technologically-advanced countries to restrict outsider access to critical websites and infrastructure through the lens of the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, there has been significantly more credence given to the idea that nation-states are moving towards creating an infrastructure for national cyber borders. If successful, such a model would create new economic, social and technical problems that may pose greater threats to national security. This paper explains the drawbacks of the cyber-Westphalian model using South Korean cyber policy as a case study, and highlights the potential dangers of restricting the internet at the national level. Through data collected from South Korean computer users and secondary sources, the author finds that the implementation of national borders in cyberspace is not feasible. In addition, such a model would bring with it severe detriments to the online economy and personal freedoms, while still leaving vital systems vulnerable.
