Our goal is to relocate network services from the internet and move them over to the blockchain. How is this possible? With ECCâs multi-chain, what is possible on the internet will be possible on the blockchain; but in a more secure environment.
Two new vulnerabilities called Meltdown and Spectre, or speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities, have been discovered in modern processors that allow malicious programs to steal information from the memory of other programs.
Vulnerability Timeline. A zero-day attack happens once that flaw, or software/hardware vulnerability is exploited, and attackers release malware before a developer has an opportunity to create a patch to fix the vulnerability, hence âzero-day.â Letâs break down the steps of the window of vulnerability:
