Threat modeling
Threat modeling is the process of identifying, analyzing, and documenting potential threats to a system or application. The goal of threat modeling is to identify vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors so that appropriate security controls can be put in place to mitigate the risk. Threat modeling is a standard practice carried out in traditional information security scenarios; however, the same techniques can be applied to blockchain as well.
There are many ways threat modeling can be performed for blockchain by using standard threat modeling techniques. There are several different standard models that can be used for threat modeling, including:
- STRIDE: This model, developed by Microsoft, helps identify and categorize threats based on the type of threat they pose. STRIDE stands for Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, DoS, and Elevation of Privilege.
- DREAD: This model, developed by the Open Web Application Security Project...
