Specifications
Existing Guidelines
A number of guidelines and best practice recommendations exist for the decentralized application and cryptocurrency ecosystems. Examples of these existing guidelines, endorsed by EBSec are the following:
- CryptoCurrency Security Standard
- Ethereum Smart Contract Security Best Practices
- EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum Report “Blockchain and Cyber Security”
However, EBSec recognizes the need for comprehensive security frameworks focusing on the secure application of distributed ledger technology in industry-ready enterprise applications. To this end, a series of guidelines and security specifications are being developed to complement existing information security standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001:2013.
The Enterprise Blockchain Security Specification
The first specification published by EBSec is the Enterprise Blockchain Security Specification, a set of requirements divided into five domains, that define a base layer for enterprise blockchain security.
