The analysis of the effectiveness of the combined attack on bitcoin networks

Abstract

the article describes several types of attacks at the level of autonomous systems that can be used, including in the Bitcoin network (active BGP attack, passive BGP attack by collusion, hybrid BGP attack). The mechanisms of the network separation attack and the «selfish mining» attack are described separately. Based on these two attacks, a combined attack is proposed, calculations and analysis of the effectiveness of its application are carried out.
