Overview
The DFINITY foundation, a major contributor to the Internet Computer blockchain, takes security very seriously. Not only do engineering and product security teams conduct various security checks and reviews internally before a feature is released, security tools, best practices, and formal models are also developed and open-sourced, so developers can perform their own code checks to detect bugs and improve the overall security of their dapps. What’s more, many of the major technical features built on the Internet Computer go through additional external security assessments conducted by leading organizations such as Trail of Bits and NCC Group, specializing in software security assurance.
Getting external reviews complements internal security efforts and gives engineering and product security teams the opportunity to greatly benefit and learn from the different perspectives expert reviewers provide based on their knowledge and experience of other blockchain projects. After addressing the issues, DFINITY makes the audit reports public on this wiki page, so that the community sees an independent assessment of the feature’s security posture. Such reports signal to users and developers that minimizing the security risks of building on and engaging with the Internet Computer is of utmost importance.
