Abstract This paper is an assessment of cybersecurity principles within the nuclear arsenal of the United States, specifically the nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile forces. Ongoing modernizations will introduce new components, and potentially new vulnerabilities, into U.S. nuclear forces. The principles for achieving secure operations from the fields of computer security, dependable computing, and systems analysis, and the extent to which they are addressed within the management of U.S. nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles is discussed. This paper then considers the types of vulnerabilities that may be overlooked during modernizations, followed by a critique of U.S. nuclear command and control policy choices that could make the consequences of these vulnerabilities more catastrophic.

评估美国洲际弹道导弹部队实现可靠和安全计算的优先事项

摘要 本文评估了美国核武库内的网络安全原则，特别是拥有核武器的洲际弹道导弹部队。正在进行的现代化将为美国核力量引入新的组成部分和潜在的新漏洞。讨论了从计算机安全、可靠计算和系统分析领域实现安全操作的原则，以及在美国洲际核弹道导弹管理中解决这些问题的程度。然后，本文考虑了在现代化过程中可能被忽视的脆弱性类型，然后批评了美国核指挥和控制政策选择，这些选择可能会使这些脆弱性的后果更具灾难性。
