Network Security Model

Definition

A network security model defines the architectural framework and operational procedures designed to protect a blockchain network from attacks, vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access. This encompasses the consensus mechanism, cryptographic primitives, and economic incentives that collectively secure the network’s integrity and availability. A robust security model is paramount for ensuring the trustworthiness of transactions and the immutability of the ledger. It dictates how the network resists malicious actors.
