A study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences found that the U.S. military needs to create an open, public dalogue to clarify its plans around using offensive weapons in cyberspace. The study also recommends that the military explain what offensive capabilities it has and how they might be used to counter conventional military attacks. In the United States, the offensive use of cyberweapons is a highly classified military secret. The New York Times reports that the study s recommendations run counter to the way things have been done in the past.
