Relevance to Theme: While talking about Internet safety, it is mentioned more from the aspects of technics, physical and hardware. However, with the deepening understand of Internet, some conceptions at ideological level emerge, such as data sovereignty and cyberspace sovereignty, which were put forward on the basis of Internet safety. Once a conceptual consensus is reached in the future, many network attacks may be prevented or solved under the governments’ efforts. Since the conceptions are new and extensive, there exists space for further discussion.
Relevance to Internet Governance: Although Internet governance is conducted in different ways in different countries, some basic principles are still needed to solve international dispute, especially when it comes to Internet safety. This workshop is designed to discuss the “sovereignty” in cyberspace, aiming at exploring how to maintain the network security in different countries with different conditions. It is wished to make contribution to the formation of international rules.
