#SmartCustody—Are you considering all possible threats to your digital assets? Do you have comprehensive procedures to assess your risk profile? We (@anguschampion, @kanzure & I) will be hosting our 1st workshop on Tue, Jan 29 at @Blockstream in Palo Alto: eventbrite.com/e/smartcustody…
Adversary: Active Network Attack
Motivation: “I know you personally have cryptocurrency, and I want to steal it. I will use my expertise with programming or with hacking to attack you on the internet, and then your bitcoin will be mine.” eventbrite.com/e/smartcustody…

Adversary: Bitrot. Motivation. “I am entropy writ large. I want to break down your storage, crash your hard drives and degrade your optical media. I want to prevent your computers from booting, your programs from running, and your data from reading; in the end, I always win.”
Adversary: Systemic Network Attack
Motivation. “I’m a big kahuna among hackers. I don’t go after your little bitcoin wallets, I go after the exchanges & bitcoin sites instead. Nonetheless, you might just find yourself at a literal loss when I bankrupt those holding your wallet.”

Just three of our 24 digits asset adversaries we teach detailed case studies about at our #SmartCustody Workshops, along with risk modeling & creation of protective processes and checklists to meet your individual needs. eventbrite.com/e/smartcustody…
In the risk modeling part of #SmartCustody workshop we start teaching a very basic one so you can understand it—she diagrams flows cold storage & Coinbase. Later models are much more sophisticated.
Here after some processes on the flow model, we map the risks against the 24 adversaries. This allows us to analyze & triage the true threats to her digital assets. Fighting all adversaries is expensive and subjects you to adversaries Process Fatique & Convenience.
This inspires this digital asset holder to revise their practice, change our base checklists & processes to met their needs. Here is the new flow diagram. You will learn all these basics at our workshop and more. eventbrite.com/e/smartcustody…
