SoK: Design, Vulnerabilities and Defense of Cryptocurrency Wallets
The rapid growth of decentralized digital currencies, enabled by blockchain
technology, has ushered in a new era of peer-to-peer transactions,
revolutionizing the global economy. Cryptocurrency wallets, serving as crucial
endpoints for these transactions, have become increasingly prevalent. However,
the escalating value and usage of these wallets also expose them to significant
security risks and challenges. This research aims to comprehensively explore
the security aspects of cryptocurrency wallets. It provides a taxonomy of
wallet types, analyzes their design and implementation, identifies common
vulnerabilities and attacks, and discusses defense mechanisms and mitigation
strategies. The taxonomy covers custodial, non-custodial, hot, and cold
wallets, highlighting their unique characteristics and associated security
considerations. The security analysis scrutinizes the theoretical and practical
aspects of wallet design, while assessing the efficacy of existing security
measures and protocols. Notable wallet attacks, such as Binance, Mt. Gox are
examined to understand their causes and consequences. Furthermore, the paper
surveys defense mechanisms, transaction monitoring, evaluating their
effectiveness in mitigating threats
Nation-State Attackers and their Effects on Computer Security
Nation-state intelligence agencies have long attempted to operate in secret, but recent revelations have drawn the attention of security researchers as well as the general public to their operations. The scale, aggressiveness, and untargeted nature of many of these now public operations were not only alarming, but also baffling as many were thought impossible or at best infeasible at scale. The security community has since made many efforts to protect end-users by identifying, analyzing, and mitigating these now known operations.
While much-needed, the security community's response has largely been reactionary to the oracled existence of vulnerabilities and the disclosure of specific operations. Nation-State Attackers, however, are dynamic, forward-thinking, and surprisingly agile adversaries who do not rest on their laurels and are continually advancing their efforts to obtain information. Without the ability to conceptualize their actions, understand their perspective, or account for their presence, the security community's advances will become antiquated and unable to defend against the progress of Nation-State Attackers.
In this work, we present and discuss a model of Nation-State Attackers that can be used to represent their attributes, behavior patterns, and world view. We use this representation of Nation-State Attackers to show that real-world threat models do not account for such highly privileged attackers, to identify and support technical explanations of known but ambiguous operations, and to identify and analyze vulnerabilities in current systems that are favorable to Nation-State Attackers.PHDComputer Science & EngineeringUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
