ABSTRACT
In August 2000, Dorothy Denning, from Georgetown University, at a testimony before the Special Oversight Panel on Terrorism Committee on Armed Services at the US House of Representatives, eloquently defined the term cyber terrorism. The United States is the leader in artificial intelligence and nanotechnology (NT), but we haven't seen substantial advancement in the domain of cybersecurity. 3G nano applications will be assembled symmetrically by the attackers and deployed in Smart Cities. Smart Cities will innocently be easy targets of serial cyber assaults with new breeds of cyber terrorism. Thus, the United States should finally wake up and shift the focus toward using NT and build a new cybersecurity architecture for the nation's critical infrastructures and Smart Cities. Russia, with its massive cyber army, is widely suspected in a hack of the Democratic National Committee that undermined the integrity of the US election.
