DLT Cybersecurity Monitoring

该项目旨在验证市场并确定对基于分布式分类帐技术(DLT)的系统的安全监测(攻击检测)工具的需求。基于DLT的系统正在开发并在跨部门的更大范围的应用中实施。近年来，加密货币一直是DLTS的主要应用，占据了全球区块链市场的大部分。最近，越来越多的项目寻求开发基于DLT的系统，用于其他应用，包括供应链管理、公共服务、将物联网系统集成到智能城市和数字身份管理。与大多数数字系统一样，基于DLT的系统容易受到网络攻击。高价值的加密货币盗窃是通过钱包泄露、利用智能合同漏洞和51%的攻击实现的。随着DLT在新应用中的出现，它们将不可避免地成为寻求破坏数据完整性和可用性以及决策的对手攻击的目标，潜在的后果超出了财务盗窃。因此，基于DLT的系统的用户能够检测并缓解来自外部或竞争对手的潜在攻击至关重要。虽然有一些共同点，但针对基于DLT的系统的许多攻击类型和指标不同于其他数字系统；因此，现有的方法不能直接适用。

This project seeks to validate the market and identify requirements for a security-monitoring (attack-detection) tool for distributed-ledger technology (DLT)-based systems.DLT-based systems are being developed and implemented in a widening range of applications across sectors. Cryptocurrencies have been the primary application of DLTs in recent years, occupying most of the global blockchain market. More recently, increasing projects have sought to develop DLT-based systems for other applications, including supply-chain management, public services, integrating Internet-of-Things systems into Smart Cities, and digital-identity management.Like most digital systems, DLT-based systems are vulnerable to cyber-attack. High-value cryptocurrency thefts have been achieved through wallet compromise; exploitation of smart-contract vulnerabilities; and 51% attacks. As DLTs emerge in new applications, they will inevitably be targets of attack by adversaries seeking to compromise the integrity and availability of data and decision-making, with potential consequences extending beyond financial theft.It is therefore critical that users of DLT-based systems are able to detect and mitigate against potential attacks by outsiders or by competitors. While there is some common ground, many of the types and indicators of attack against DLT-based systems differ from other digital systems; as such existing approaches are not directly applicable.
