From the late 20th century, rapidly progressing information communication technology and spreading Internet all over the world cause many reverse functions when there is a conversion into the new information society. One of them is cyber terrorism as cyber crime. Cyber terrorism gradually has had a serious problem in the national security as well as the domestic aspects. Therefore, this study looked into the present condition of cyber terrorism, discussed its prospect, and sought the efficient national countermeasure methods against cyber terrorism by comparing other countries' countermeasure systems currently.

These days, modern society is facing a 'turning point of paradigm' from industrial society to knowledge and information society. It indicates an entry to the high-speed network society centering on knowledge. Specifically, Korea has invested enormously to If Industry and finally other advanced countries are eager to export technologies of our country through benchmarking. However, because of our growth-oriented policy, Korea is not very good at dealing with the dysfunctions of information-centered society, and one of the representative problems is cyber-terrorism. Cyber terrorism which anonymous actors do to the uncertain number of people is one of the new types of terrorism. This study aims at political and legal speculations on cyber terrorism for protection of contents and find its countermeasures.

In e-terrorism, terrorists use cyber spaces including the internet in order to strike terror into the heart of a nation. It is revealed that recently happening terror cases use cyber spaces as a strategic tool. This research aims to investigate efficient countermeasures against various types of terror attacks made by terrorists and their cyber networking, in order to contribute to the prevention of terrors from a modern standpoint. Based on the results of the investigation, relevant problems are suggested such that terrors are not cases happening in a specific country only because they take place in cyber spaces, that hacking incidents frequently happen in Korea which is used as a footstool by foreign hackers, and that Korea has poor professional security manpower and foundational facilities in comparison with other advanced countries. Answers to the problems include cultivating cyber information manpower to cope with e-terrorism, making an appropriate budget, setting up networks to integrate and systematize anti-e-terrorism organizations, and intensifying the collection of information of cyber attacks and the analysis of the information.

Terrorism has existed in the entire human history and has become a significant topic in criminology while prior studies has focused on North Korea as the perpetrator, and this prevents an in-depth discussion of the international trends of terrorism. As soft targets are the main target of new terrorism and because we never ignore the significance of the consequences, there are needs for more studies on the topic. This study conducted a case study of major terrorism attacks and surveyed professionals in the field via an AHP analysis in order to find the characteristics of terrorism and its potential patterns in South Korea. As a result, we found that North Korea or the left-wing may utilize homemade bomb, motor vehicle or drone for the purpose of attacking multi-use facilities in South Korea. For policy implications, we insist developing a better CPTED approach on those facilities, improving professionalism of cyber-watchdog via more training and education, stricter control on drone permit, and operation of counseling centers for preventing radicalization.

인터넷 및 컴퓨터 시스템의 급격한 발전으로 인해 네트워크를 통한 서비스 제공이 금융, 교통, 산업, 방송, 의료 등 사회기반에 전반적으로 사용되고 있다. 이와 함께 네트워크의 취약점을 악용한 사이버 공격이 증가하고 있어 사회 전반적인 부분에 피해를 입힐 수 있는 중대한 위협요인으로 등장하고 있다. 이와 같은 사이버 공격이 테러리즘 등 특정 목적과 결부될 경우 국가 안전보장에 대한 위기를 초래하는 등 심각한 문제가 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사이버테러의 개요 및 국내 외 사이버테러 동향에 대해 알아보고, 각 국가별 대응방안에 대해 알아본다.

미국은 자국을 향한 여러 테러 방법 중에서 사이버 테러리즘이 향후 치명적인 수단으로 발전할 수 있다는 것을 인지하고, 위협에 대비하여 이에 대응할 수 있는 보안기술을 확보하고 안보를 강화하는 데 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 고에서는 9.11 테러 이후 최근 미국의 사이버보안 분야에 대한 기술정책과 연구개발경향 및 예산 동향을 분석하고, 정책의 도입과정에서의 주요 쟁점 및 우리나라의 사이버보안 정책 수립에 참고할 만한 시사점 등에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

The numerous definition of terrorism is viewed as the use of force or violence by individual or group that is directed toward civilian populations and intended to instill fear as a means of coercing individuals or groups to change their political or social positions. Recently, the paradigm of terror has been developed as new terrorism motivated by 9. 11 terror in 2001. In these contexts, this study analyzed the case study of recent counter-terrorism of international events and suggested the policy implications. This study is split into four chapters. Chapter I is the introduction part. Chapter II introduces the reader to new terrorism theory, and Chapter III deals with the case study of the international counter-terrorism policy around the world, Chapter IV deals with the policy implications of the case study. The greater the political, economical and social advantages opening large international ceremonies, the larger the probability of being targets for terrorists and criminals. As terrorism is one of the important issue, the security problems at international ceremonies in Korea, rising country as political essence in Asian-Pacific region, become very important. With experienced know-hows against terror and preparations for security, local and central governments must promote the private security companies filling up vacancies of police and official security system and develop international ceremonies, rising high valuable industries in 21st century, with diplomatic efforts. International major events is the largest event related events with politics, economy, culture, and such large-scale events should be a comprehensive counterplan in the light of safety check for the location of a hazard and safety check of facilities in and out, attendance on athlete and visitor and escort of VIPs.

Preventive measures and control over cyber terrorism in Korea is a complex problem. Today laws should meet requirements made by modern technologies development, Law enforcement, special services and judicial system cooperation, their efforts coordination and their material security are priority directions, None of the country is able to prevent cyber terror independently and international cooperation in this field is vital. Taking the above into consideration, we propose and inisit that National Intelligence Service(NIS) should share cyber terror data with Police Agency and have top police authority over the cyber terror.

On the one hand, the 4th Industrial Revolution provides a positive opportunity to build a new civilization paradigm for mankind. However, on the other hand, due to the 4th Industrial Revolution, artificial intelligence such as 'Goggle Alpha Go' revolutionized and even the human ability was replaced with a 'Silicon Chip' as the opportunity to communicate decreases, the existence of human beings is weakened. And there is a growing concern that the number of violent crimes, such as psychopath, which hunts humans as games, will increase. Moreover, recent international terrorism is being developed in a form similar to 'Psychopathic Violent-Crime' that indiscriminately attacks innocent people. So, the probability that terrorist organizations abuse the positive effects provided by the Fourth Industrial Revolution as means of terrorism is increasing. Therefore, the paradigm of aviation terrorism is expected to change in a way that attacks airport facilities and users rather than aircraft. Because airport facilities are crowded, and psychopathic terrorists are easily accessible. From this point of view, our counter terrorism system of aviation has many weak points in various aspects such as: (1) limitations of counter-terrorism center (2) inefficient on-site command and control system (3) separated organization for aviation security consultation (4) dispersed information collection function in government (5) vulnerable to cyber attack (6) lack of international cooperation network for aviation terrorism. Consequently, it is necessary to improve the domestic counter terrorism system of aviation so as to preemptively respond to the international terrorism. This study propose the following measures to improve the aviation security system by (1) create 'Aviation Special Judicial Police' (2) revise the anti-terrorism law and aviation security law (3) Strengthening the ability respond to terrorism in cyberspace (4) building an international cooperation network for aviation terrorism.
