A publication from the Associated Press he says that the International Committee of the Red Cross announced Thursday that it is seeking support for the creation of a "Red Cross/Red Crescent digital badge" that would make it clear to military and other hackers that they have entered the computer systems of medical facilities or Red Cross offices.
Η ανθρωπιστική οργάνωση με έδρα τη Γενεύη δήλωσε ότι καλεί τις κυβερνήσεις, τις εταιρείες, τους φίλους του Ερυθρού Σταυρού και της Ερυθράς Ημισελήνου και εμπειρογνώμονες information technologyto join forces to develop “concrete ways to protect medical and humanitarian services from digital harm during armed conflict”.
Για περισσότερα από 150 χρόνια, σύμβολα όπως ο Ερυθρός Σταυρός χρησιμοποιούνται για να καταστεί σαφές ότι “σε περιόδους ένοπλων συγκρούσεων, όσοι φορούν τον κόκκινο σταυρό ή οι εγκαταστάσεις και τα objects που τους έχουν θα πρέπει να προστατεύονται από βλάβες”.
The same obligation should apply online, the agency said, noting that hacking operations in times of conflict are likely to increase as more hackers develop their capabilities in cyberspace.
The organization said that for the proposed "digital emblem" to become a reality, nations around the world would have to agree on its use and make it part of international humanitarian law alongside other existing humanitarian insignia. He hopes the emblem will identify computer systems as belonging to protected facilities just as a red cross or crescent on a hospital roof does in the real world.
"The International Committee of the Red Cross said it had identified three techniques possibilities: a DNS-based badge that will use a special tag to associate it with a domain name, an IP-based badge and an ADEM badge, or a certified digital badge with a system that will use certificate chains to protect signals” .
