Global Governance of Space Cyber Security: Regulatory and Institutional Aspects
by Du LiThe book explores the regulatory and institutional aspects of global governance of space cybersecurity.Focusing on the regulatory aspects, this book argues that the current international law cannot handle the threats posed by malicious cyber and space activities, as regulatory gaps exist owing to terminological ambiguities and legal loopholes. A law-making process in the space field is proposed with a focus on developing soft law instruments through multistakeholder platforms. To enhance the implementation and enforcement of laws concerning space cybersecurity, it is crucial to emphasise the roles of international organisations and industries. Furthermore, empowering existing international institutions with supervisory powers and promoting national legislation and domestic judicial systems are feasible approaches to enhance compliance with the law.The book will attract international law scholars, especially those studying space law and cyber law.

You'll explore the STL and learn how to avoid common pitfalls while implementing templates. Later, you'll learn about the problems of multithreaded programming such as data races, deadlocks, and thread starvation. You'll also learn high-performance programming by using benchmarking tools and libraries. Finally, you'll discover advanced techniques for debugging and testing to ensure code reliability. By the end of this book, you'll have become an expert at C++ programming and will have gained the skills to solve complex development problems with ease. What you will learn Solve common C++ development problems by implementing solutions in a more generic and reusable way Achieve different levels of exception safety guarantees by introducing precise declarations Write library-quality code that meets professional standards Practice writing reliable, performant code that exposes consistent behavior in programs Understand why you need to implement design patterns and how it's done Work with complex examples to understand various aspects of good library design Who this book is for This book is for intermediate and expert-level C++ developers who are looking to explore the lesser known functionalities of the language to improve the efficiency of their code and the way they develop applications. Basic knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts and the Standard Template Library (STL) is assumed.
