연구 분야: Strategies

학회: International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering

Software systems prove indispensable amongst a variety of fields. With our increasing reliance on them coupled with their heightened complexity, the demand for protection increases as well. In this article, we explore how crowdsourcing could be used for vulnerability discovery. We examine the models of crowdsourcing that has been applied in vulnerability discovery, identify dimensions of this crowdsourced task, and discuss applicable concerns and future research directions.
