A Novel Classification of Attacks on Blockchain Layers: Vulnerabilities, Attacks, Mitigations, and Research Directions

arXiv:2404.18090v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The widespread adoption of blockchain technology has amplified the spectrum of potential threats to its integrity and security. The ongoing quest to exploit vulnerabilities emphasizes how critical it is to expand on current research initiatives. Thus, using a methodology based on discrete blockchain layers, our survey study aims to broaden the existing body of knowledge by thoroughly discussing both new and known attack vectors inside the blockchain ecosystem. This survey proposes a novel classification of …
