Title of research - To identify the influence of cyber conflicts between the
United States of America and Russia and its impact in Presidential
elections.
INTRODUCTION
International relationship and security is will lead to have major impact on nation and its
economy. This is also known as global security and it is very important to take several steps and
decision to security of nations. It is crucial to decisive measures by nations for international
organization in order to ensure mutual survival as well as safety. This research will includes
different elements regarding international relationship as well as safety. In this report various
methods for data collection has been determined in order to gather correct information. Time
schedule has been developed for timely completion of task. Cyberwarfare alludes to the
utilization of computerized assaults like PC hacking by one nation to upset the crucial PC
frameworks of another, with the point of making harm, passing and annihilation. Future wars
will see programmers utilizing PC code to assault a foe's framework, battling by troops utilizing
regular weapons like firearms and rockets.
Research aim

Literature Review
Major influence of cyber conflicts on international relationship and security
Reasons of cyber conflicts between the United States of America and Russia
According to ..., United States Administration believed Russian interference across all American
cases, but government of America suspected Russia of hacking only in reference to DNC, and
although Russia refused that. In respective occurrence researchers as well as others belongs to
U.S. had proof, like addresses of the Internet Protocol (IP) or even the objective function of
devices that used corrupted files, referring to the hacker group, as people responsible APT28 and
APT29 Victims of the threats. All these classes believed towards maintaining relations with and
serving as advisors to Russian Government. This mostly enabled Russian Government that they
could provide reasonable denials if fraud detection is observed by Government of United States,
and furthermore tends to complicate where they can easily misrepresent the facts to make
attribution difficult. Professionals from United States DNC violation CrowdStrike, a
cybersecurity company, reported the teams assaulting were APT297 & APT288. These
organisations’ provided technological information proving that perhaps the group of hackers
APT29 had been working inside the US DNC network for about a year before it was even
operational identified that the APT28 hacker community had in the year of 2016 (United States)
the same platform was breached Federal Department of Homeland Security of Analysis which
was done in the year of 2016.
Impact of cyber conflicts between nations on Presidential elections
As mentioned by ..., emergence of the cyber attacks field led to significant changes in global
forces as well as fundamentally changed the manner in which amount of information available
only with Web. In light of all this growth, the form and nature of encounters mostly on frontline
were apparently evolving. Technologically it can be said that the effect of the rise in cyber space
among Russia and the United States could result across both spending a lot of money in cyber-
defense as well as cyber-offense capacities, with the potential of a cyber-arms race developing.
Common disclosure with Russian individuals’ attacks is humiliating United States and shows
that the American cyber-defense is not inaccessible, so the United States gets to identify
innovative cyber-security steps. If same is applied within the case of Russia, which also
2

mentioned being hit by attacks at its institutions. The cyber threats on United States’ institutions
have also shown that electoral process like elections or votes are in danger.
Research Methodology
This can be describe as the procedure that is consider by researcher in order to
successfully conduct research as well as collect data in more effective manner. Research
methodology will help in gathering data from different sources and assembling of information in
accurate way. There are different sources of data collection which will help on finding the most
suitable data and information in order to attain the outcome of this research. Different methods of
data collection are mention below –
 Primary data collection – This refer to the data which is gather for the first time and
researcher who collect primary data is known and the owner of data. Primary data is
collected through interview, questionnaires, experiments, survey, observation and many
more. This will support researcher to gather data which is able to resolve the issues of
research.
 Secondary data collection – This type of data collection method refer as the gathering of
information form already collected data. In this researcher will assemble data and
information from the primary sources. Secondary method of data collection is very cost
effective and researcher will be able to gather information in less time.
Time schedule
This can be describe as the way or approach for managing time as well as scheduling all
activities of research in order to timely accomplish all activities. There are different tools that
will help in scheduling the time for task or activities of this research. Gantt chart is one of the
most effective tool and it will help researcher for scheduling all task of research with its start
time and end time.
