Blockchain as a Threat Modeling Tool: Collaborative Risk Assessment
Korea University researchers Shinchul Park and Seungjoo Kim explore using blockchain consensus as a collaborative framework for multi-stakeholder threat modeling.
Summary
The Challenge of Multi-Stakeholder Threat Modeling
Threat modeling complex enterprise systems requires input from diverse stakeholders whose differing priorities often introduce subjective bias and uneven evaluation weights.
Leveraging Blockchain for Decentralized Consensus
Shinchul Park and Seungjoo Kim propose utilizing blockchain architecture to record, validate, and reach democratic consensus on system threat models.
Designing the Decentralized Threat Modeling Protocol
The authors detail a framework where security analysts contribute threat vectors, assess likelihood and impact scores, and immutably record verified mitigations.
Evaluating Objectivity and Verifiability in Risk Assessment
The presentation demonstrates how decentralized threat registries eliminate single points of failure and enhance transparency in critical infrastructure defense.
