The American presidency office has announced yesterday that the White House is ready to reveal this week its propositions regarding the international cooperation in the cyberspace.
The document, which will be revealed today, is entitled " US International Strategy for Cyberspace" and has been long-waited by the International Community.
It is the "first political document of this kind showing our global vision on the future of the international cooperation concerning the cyberspace", has explained the White House in a statement.
The idea of the document is to show how America wants to emphasize several "partnerships with other countries and other people to insure prosperity, security and the openness the United States are looking for in a more and more interconnected world".
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who made the freedom on the Internet one of her priorities, will talk about this this week. Mrs Clinton's points will discuss the potential role of the cyberspace into defending American interests.
The speech will also talk about the importance of having an international cooperation that will put the cyberspace at the centre of attentions in foreign policy discussions.
Obama’s administration said that the President will attend the event with his special adviser for the antiterrorism, Mr John Brennan. The Minister of Justice Eric Holder and the Minister of Internal Security, Mrs Janet Napolitano will also be attending.
This announcement intervened just after the presentation by the White House of the main parts of a project that aims to strengthen the power the administration and the private sector have against cyber attacks. The White House plans to ask the main actors of the energy, transport and financial sectors to work out how to improve the security on their networks.
The US seem to be determined to move fast. Once again Europe and the others have to decide if they just want to follow or if they want to be a proposal force..
