Next Meeting

Future Topics

Notes

1. Processes are secure ~ development, distribution.

2. Process to report security issues at Hyperledger.

3. Threat modelling

   1. Define boundaries ~ infrastructure, networking, development.

   2. How do we measure robustness

      1. Suggestions such as attesting the build process.

      2. Project's security review information, where to find them.

      3. Define what how are security claims made in a project. State the assumptions made to claim the statement. Projects to have formal proof to the claims.

      4. Articulate Human consumable definitions for the claims.

      5. Reference https://eprint.iacr.org/2014/765.pdf to learn how is it done for Bitcoin network.

4. Breaking the task force into multiple work streams.

5. Projects handling the security reports ~ should TSC consider it as a metric to measure, define process to follow up on that.

6. Infrastructure related security measures may be influenced by LF policies.
   
   

   1. Community hinted towards moving these to the LF charter.
