Application of the Method of Expert Assessments in Determining the Level of Criticality of the Information Security Vulnerability of Smart Contracts

Abstract

The article focuses on the development of a methodology based on expert assessment to assess the level of vulnerability criticality for subsequent use in the analysis of smart contract code to make a decision on its placement in a blockchain system. The task includes a problem statement, basic approaches to threat and vulnerability analysis, a proposed methodology for determining the level of vulnerability criticality, its testing, and recommendations for future work. The issues of protecting smart contracts operating within the blockchain system from computer attacks and vulnerabilities are becoming increasingly important for both developers and participants in information interaction. One of the most important trends in this area is the development of methods and tools to detect, model, analyze and assess the initiation and execution of malicious attacks on the target component of the system. #COMESYSO1120.
