Article Summaries:
- The W3C Security Interest Group has released the first drafts of two new Group Notes. The Threat Modeling Guide outlines when, why, and how to conduct threat modeling during standard development, aiming to help specifications identify and document threats and countermeasures early in the process. The Threat Model for Decentralized Credentials serves as a live “meta” model, detailing concerns and initial principles for addressing user‑centric issues in decentralized credential work. Both documents are intended to guide standards developers in incorporating comprehensive security considerations from the outset.
