Ethics in Cyber Security

When performing research in the cyber security world we often find it hard to identify the proper ethical route and most times question ourselves. But there are some reports present that can help guide us to make the proper ethical decision:

Belmont Report:
-Try to make every effort to respect the person
-Try to get the most benefit with the least harm.
-Everyone should be done justice when spreading the merit

Menlo Report:
-includes all of the three principles from Belmont Report
-Talks about respecting the law and the interest of the public

There is also a program called CREDS that is aimed at looking at and assessing a research project based on some ethical principles. By taking these measures and following certain guidelines researchers in the Cyber Security world can perform research in proper ethical format that not only brings benefits to the world, but is able to do without causing harm.

  3. Very interesting, ive never heard of the Belmont Report nor the Menlo Report. It sounds like just a great way to make any team more effective. Thanks for sharing this.

  7. Thanks for sharing this information on CREDS. I will like to understand what CREDS is about and how it can be a guide for my research work in cyber security.
