A system security model defines the security properties, assumptions, and mechanisms employed to protect a digital asset system or blockchain network. This model outlines potential threats, the vulnerabilities it addresses, and the defenses implemented to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It provides a conceptual framework for understanding how the system resists attacks and maintains operational reliability. A well-defined model is crucial for assessing and communicating the robustness of a decentralized platform.
Context
System security models are a foundational element in the design and auditing of blockchain protocols and decentralized applications. News reports often analyze new projects based on their stated security models and the cryptographic assumptions they rely upon. A critical future development involves the standardization of security modeling frameworks to allow for more consistent evaluation and comparison of different digital asset systems. A clear model is vital for establishing trust and confidence in novel technologies.
A new sharding model leverages proactive secret sharing and global slashing to eliminate the 1/N security vulnerability, enabling scalable and robust decentralized architectures.
