Abstract: The paper introduces 'Legal Cyberspace' which can be regarded as a tool for exploring other legal worlds. In practical terms legal cyberspace is a computer-generated interactive graphics environment, i.e. a system of databases and knowledge-base applications rather than a specific application. Developed from difficulties gaining access to foreign legal material for a research project ...

Knowledge about cyberspace is shaped and delimited by the questions we ask and the kinds of inquiries we pursue. Questioning, of course, is never objective or neutral. As Martin Heidegger demonstrates, a question, no matter how carefully articulated, necessarily harbors preconceptions and pre-understandings that direct and regulate inquiry (24).

Cyberspace is a complex dimension of both enabling and inhibiting data flows in electronic data networks. Current-generation intrusion-detection systems (IDSes) are not technologically advanced enough to create the situational knowledge required to monitor and protect these networks effectively. Next-generation IDSes will fuse data, combining short-term sensor data with long-term knowledge data...

The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) has come at the right time. There has been much experimentation over the last decade with a variety of identity solutions for cyberspace. Unfortunately, the prevailing trend today is towards solutions that reduce privacy, security, user choice, and free competition. We trust that NSTIC will be able to reverse this trend, but it ...
