Summary/Abstract: Under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe(OSCE), the Organization’s 57 participating States have developed and continued to work on a ground-breaking set of confidence-building measures (CBMs) to reduce the risks of conflict stemming from the use of ICTs (Information Communication Technologies). They are designed to make cyberspace more predictable and offer concrete tools and mechanisms to avoid and address potential misunderstandings. The paper will explore the main features of the OSCE work in the cyberspace, more precisely the two sets of confidence-building measures, their accomplishments and challenges, and a perspective on future potential developments. The paper is structured as follows: a brief introduction will provide a view on the main OSCE mechanisms in the cyber domain, the first part is devoted to the analysis of the two sets of confidence building measures, and the last part will provide a scrutiny on achievements,challenges and potential future developments.
