note = {The internet - or more generally cyberspace - is an essential part of
modern societies, civil life, and directly as well as indirectly a
crucial economic factor. The underlying technologies are an increasing
target for economic or intelligence espionage and military activities.
The access to this new domain “cyberspace”, the control of its
technologies, as well as the possibilities of its protection become
more and more key for societal participation, economic and national
welfare and, therefore, an integral part of internal and foreign
security policies. The specific characteristics of cyberspace are
major challenges for the application of established norms such as
human rights, international cooperation and peace-keeping. Cyberspace
is a completely man-made domain, and computer sciences are the
essential designers of this domain. By means of historical examples,
this article discusses the emerging role of computer sciences and the
necessity to recognize its accountability. It aims to illustrate
possibilities to actively take on this responsibility and to shape
technological advancements for a peaceful and non-military application
of cyberspace.},
