THREAT MODELING

Mapping trust boundaries

A future exploration of data flows, trust boundaries, and abuse cases in a small web application.

Research brief

Use a deliberately small application to make the reasoning behind a threat model visible. This is a planned writeup; no completed model is available yet.

Questions to explore

What assets need protection? Who can influence each data flow? Which assumptions deserve testing, and which mitigations reduce the most meaningful risks?

Planned artifacts

A system diagram, explicit assumptions, prioritized threats, mitigation notes, and a discussion of remaining uncertainty.
