Self-defense provisions as an excuse in criminal law, in the Iranian legal system like other systems, are provided with a classical view. However, nowadays increasing the number of cyber-attacks in the cyberspace and the development of technology to oppose these attacks, prior of the intervention of state and irreparable damages of cyber-attacks, makes this question if it is possible to invoke self- defense to confront with cyber-attack as an excuse in criminal law? This paper seeks to scrutinize the possibility of generalization of classical self-defense provisions to new kind of attack in light of the philosophical foundation of self-defense and eventually to examine whether the provision of sec. 156 of the Iranian Islamic penal code is sufficient in this respect. Finally, it concludes this generalization is possible and the foundation of traditional self-defense can justify the self-defense in cyber-attacks. Moreover, this paper recognizes the self-defense as a right of users in cyberspace to protect their computer system and data such as a non-cyber space.
