This paper explores verification mechanisms, as well as confidence and security building measures, within the scope of existing conventional and strategic arms control regimes. In particular, it analyses the concepts of the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty and the Vienna Document as an implementation regime for confidence and security building measures as well as the Open Skies Treaty, representing three major conventional arms control regimes. As an example for strategic arms control, we analyse the Chemical Weapons Convention. The objective of this paper is to identify those means and methods from these successful frameworks that can be adapted and potentially incorporated into a cyber-domain arms control regime. Based on this discussion, the authors suggest a general technical architecture for a trust-based future framework for arms control for cyberspace
