ITU-T Recommendations

Recommendation ITU-T X.1411 provides generic security guidelines for blockchain as a service (BaaS). The security threats and vulnerabilities of BaaS are first analysed and then the security measures of BaaS are provided. The Recommendation also addresses security requirements and provides guidelines for all the activities in the construction, operation and use of BaaS.
Blockchain as a service (BaaS) has become mainstream in blockchain development due to its promising capabilities and the extensive support it has received from the industry, especially from top cloud providers. BaaS provides the fundamental service and resources for blockchain applications, however, it faces security challenges arising from both blockchain core technologies and cloud platforms. Guidance on Baas security is thus of great importance and a necessity.
