With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution characterized by hyperconnectivity and superintelligence and the emerging cyber physical systems, enormous volumes of data are being generated in the cyberspace every day ranging from the records about human life and activities to the communication records of computers, information and communication devices, and the Internet of things. Big data represented by 3Vs (volume, velocity, and variety) are actively used in the defence field as well. This paper proposes a big data governance model to support effective military operations in the cyberspace. Cyberspace operation missions and big data types that can be collected in the cyberspace are classified and integrated with big data governance issues to build a big data governance framework model. Then the effectiveness of the constructed model is verified through examples. The result of this study will be able to assist big data utilization planning in the defence sector.

The effects-based operation, which would reduce unnecessary efforts and meaningless sacrifices incurred during a war and simultaneously reach the will of the enemy leadership by strategic attacks, was discarded for the reason that it was difficult to apply it to military power except for airpower. However, cyberspace, which can be thoroughly logical and calculated, can be suitable for conducting effects-based operations. This study examined a way to carry out effects-based operations in such cyberspaces. It laid the foundation for overcoming the limitations of effects-based operations revealed in previous battle cases and executing the operations in cyber battlespace where the boundary between physical and cyberspaces gradually disappeared. Futhermore, it demonstrated that effects-based operations could be carried out in cyberspace by establishing a military strategy, which could conduct the operations through an analysis of previous cyber-attack cases.

In these days, as cyberspace has been recognized as the fifth battlefield area following the land, sea, air, and space, attention has been focused on activities that view cyberspace as an operational and mission domain in earnest. Also, in the 21st century, cyber operations based on cyberspace are being developed as a 4th generation warfare method. In such an environment, the success of the operation is determined by the commander's decision. Therefore, in order to increase the rationality and objectivity of such decision-making, it is necessary to systematically establish and select a course of action (COA). In this study, COA is established by using the method of classifying operational elements necessary for cyber operation, and it is intended to suggest a direction for quantitative evaluation of COA. To this end, we propose a method of composing the COES (Cyber Operational Elements Set), which becomes the COA of operation, and classifying the cyber operational elements identified in the target development process based on the 5W1H Method. In addition, by applying the proposed classification method to the cyber operation elements used in the STUXNET attack case, the COES is formed to establish the attack COAs. Finally, after prioritizing the established COA, quantitative evaluation of the policy was performed to select the optimal COA.

Cyber-attacks occur in the blink of an eye in cyberspace, and the damage is increasing all over the world. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a cyber common operational picture that can grasp the various assets belonging to the 3rd layer of cyberspace from various perspectives. By applying the method for grasping battlefield information used by the military, it is possible to achieve optimal cyberspace situational awareness. Therefore, in this study, the visualization screens necessary for the cyber common operational picture are identified and the criteria (response speed, user interface, object symbol, object size) are investigated. After that, the framework is designed by applying the identified and investigated items, and the visualization screens are implemented accordingly. Finally, among the criteria investigated by the visualization screen, an experiment is conducted on the response speed that cannot be recognized by a photograph. As a result, all the implemented visualization screens met the standard for response speed. Such research helps commanders and security officers to build a cyber common operational picture to prepare for cyber-attacks.

Based on the teleportation by quantum walk, a quantum secret sharing scheme with credible authentication is proposed. Using the Hash function and quantum local operation, combined with the two-step quantum walks circuit on the line, the identity authentication and the teleportation of the secret information in distribution phase are realized. Participants collaborate honestly to recover secret information based on particle measurement results, preventing untrusted agents and external attacks from obtaining useful information. Due to the application of quantum walk, the sender does not need to prepare the necessary entangled state in advance, simply encodes the information to be sent in the coin state, and applies the conditional shift operator between the coin space and the position space to produce the entangled state necessary for quantum teleportation. Security analysis shows that the protocol can effectively resist intercept/resend attacks, entanglement attacks, participant attacks, and impersonation attacks. In addition, the quantum walk circuit used has been implemented in many different physical systems and experiments, so this quantum secret sharing scheme may be achievable in the future.

Cyberspace has emerged as the fifth domain of warfare, alongside land, sea, air, and space. It has become a crucial focus for offensive and defensive military operations. Governments worldwide have demonstrated their intent to engage in offensive cyber operations within this domain. This paper proposes an innovative offensive cyber kill chain model that integrates the existing defensive strategy, the cyber kill chain model, with the joint air tasking order (ATO) mission execution cycle and joint target processing procedure. By combining physical and cyber operations within a joint framework, this model aims to enhance national cyber operations capabilities at a strategic level. The integration of these elements seeks to address the evolving challenges in cyberspace and contribute to more effective jointness in conducting cyber operations.

Recently, the United States has been trying to strengthen its cybersecurity by upgrading its position as an Unified Combatant Command that focuses on the Cyber Command in the United States, strengthening operations in cyberspace, and actively responding to cyber threats. Other major powers are also working to strengthen cyber capabilities, and they are working to strengthen their organization and power. The world demands economic power for its own interests rather than its own borders. But Cyber World is a world without borders and no defense. Therefore, a cyber weapon system is necessary for superiority in cyberspace (defense, attack) for national cybersecurity. In this paper, we analyze operational procedures for cyber weapons operation. And we design cyber weapons to analyze and develop the best cyber weapons to lead victory in cyberwarfare. It also conducts cyber weapons research to solve the confrontation between Cyber World.

As operations that were only conducted in physical space in the past change to operations that include cyberspace, it is necessary to analyze how cyber attacks affect weapon systems using cyber systems. For this purpose, it would be meaningful to analyze a tool that analyzes the effects of physical weapon systems in connection with cyber. The ROK military has secured and is operating the US JMEM, which contains the results of analyzing the effects of physical weapon systems. JMEM is applied only to conventional weapon systems, so it is impossible to analyze the impact of cyber weapon systems. In this study, based on the previously conducted cyber attack damage assessment framework, a framework for analyzing the impact of cyber attacks on physical missions was presented. To this end, based on the MOE and MOP of physical warfare, a cyber index for the analysis of cyber weapon system effectiveness was calculated. In addition, in conjunction with JMEM, which is used as a weapon system effect manual in physical operations, a framework was designed and tested to determine the mission impact by comparing and analyzing the results of the battle in cyberspace with the effects of physical operations. In order to prove the proposed framework, we analyzed and designed operational scenarios through domestic and foreign military manuals and previous studies, defined assets, and conducted experiments. As a result of the experiment, the larger the decrease in the cyber mission effect value, the greater the effect on physical operations. It can be used to predict the impact of physical operations caused by cyber attacks in various operations, and it will help the battlefield commander to make quick decisions.

The purpose of this study is to let the entire logistics system be managed in cyberspace by effectively sharing the logistics information between companies involved in the process, changing conventional commerce to electronic commerce. Most of the goods traded through electronic commerce are small goods involving small business transactions. This produces many problems in shipping and delivery and the leads an inefficient logistics system. Another problems is that there is no sharing of information that process the logistics flow and no systematic management of pick-up and delivery information. As a result, rise in logistics cost, longer delivery period and poor service quality are inevitable and these results are becoming an obstacle in the widespread usage of the electronic commerce. Companies that are part of logistics center can cooperate logistics business in Cyber space and share the entire logistics information through the cyber logistics center. This turns out in effective sharing of logistics information, and thus, allows efficient management of logistics, improves logistics service, and reduces logistics cost.
