Abstract
Cyber attribution is the process by which the identity of an actor or aggressor in a cyberactivity is determined. Conducting this process presents several unique problems; chief among them are that the technical artifacts produced by cyberattacks are difficult to understand, and it is easy (and quite useful) for an actor to perform deception.
