Abstract
Nowadays, national critical infrastructures have been known to be highly vulnerable to the EMP threats which are internationally growing. But their realistic solutions have been not made by the lack of detailed rules and regulations in current laws, however, which cover most of cyber threats. This paper takes a look at the domestic and overseas trends on the EMP protections, and proposes the revision directives of relevant laws and the contents included into the proposed legislation. Among them, the amendment of the current "Information Infrastructure Protection Act" is considered to be the most effective, including provisions on protected informations, industrial promotions, R&D supports, education, etc. Anyway, this paper is expected to be helpful for introducing an effective legal scheme on the CIP against EMP threats. domestic rule.
