BAC-L4-XCHAIN-110Interoperable systems engineering
Taxonomy of cross-chain trust models
Building the reference classification BAC architects will use to assess any future solution.
- Level
- L4 — Blockchain architect
- Duration
- 3 h
- Maintainer
- Chief Blockchain Architect
Learning objectives
- 01Formalise a taxonomy of trust assumptions
- 02Place any mechanism, known or unknown, within it
- 03Make the taxonomy usable by a non-specialist
Guided lab
Build the taxonomy collectively and test it against ten real mechanisms.
Independent lab
Publish the taxonomy in BAC's documentation repository, with examples.
Security angle
A taxonomy exists to say no: it must make visible what is unacceptable for a given use.
Assessment
Published taxonomy, tested against mechanisms not covered in class.
