The security of the Coordicide: the implementation and analysis of possible attack vectors

Abstract

The goal of the thesis is to study and perform an analysis of the possible attack vectors on the Iota network 2.0 version of the protocol. In this work, existing attack vectors on Distributed Ledger Technologies are studied and their applicability to the Iota 2.0 protocol is discussed. A specific attack that targets the capability of honest participants to write to the ledger is presented and analyzed in a network of nodes that run a full node software version.
