Short description:

This article analyses policy response to cyber security issues. By comparing U.S. and Canadian responses, the authors conclude that the nature of cyberspace, defined as a public good with market value as well as an offensive and defensive tool, does not correspond with prevailing public policy models. The authors arrive at this conclusion by a chronological review of technological development, an analysis of conventional models, and consideration of existing public policy.
