Threat Overview

Threats to successful key management can be grouped into two categories: threats from malicious actors and threats that come from the inherent complexity of key storage itself that can cause user error and thus loss. The following is a non-exhaustive list of specific threats that we considered in the design of Casa systems.

Categories of Threats

1. Threats from Malicious Actors

   • Description of potential threats originating from those intending harm to key management.

2. Inherent Complexity Threats

   • Description of risks arising from the complexity of key storage leading to user errors.
