Security Chain definition
Security Chain. In this dimension aspects are collocated which refer to specific activities by different actors in conjunction with a CBRNE incident. They range from preparing measures by terrorists as well as prevention measures by state authorities until restoring measures in the aftermath. These activities are further specified by aspects out of all other dimensions including possible impact areas (dimension “Perspectives”). The only exception is the dimension “Level of Action”, which specifies the analysis and not the activities. In some documents where these kinds of activities are described the term “cycle” is used instead of “chain” to emphasize that after recovery new threats will arise. Within this dimension the following aspects have been defined, where the arrangement of the aspects is inter alia from the documents [CRE10], [EOS09], [ESR09], [OEC03], [CRS10], [PSC05], [IPS05] and the definition of the aspects inter alia from the documents [CRE10], [EOS09]: This aspect covers the activities of the terrorists to prepare and execute an attack. Together with aspects out of the dimension “Threatening Material”, “Target” and “Means” a threat scenario can be defined in more detail. Subject of these activities is the terrorist. The “threat analysis” or assessment in fact is given by the following MTS-cells: Status quo analysis or trend analysis (1st aspect) of the actual designated or executed measures (2nd) to generate a threat (3rd), where the aspects out of the other dimension have to be specified or are simply aggregated. On the other hand also an analysis of the threat analysis itself can be addressed with the help of the CBRNE-MTS: Status quo analysis (1st) of research (2nd) on the threat (3rd), where again the aspects out of the other dimension have to be specified. This aspect includes all measures aimed at prevention from the occurrence of an incident by looking at preventing that someone can and will carry out an attack. Subject of these activities are among others state authorities and security institutions. This can be achieved e.g. through regulations, local ordinances, legislative measures, intelligence or deterrence measures (see dimension “Means” and “Perspectives”).
Security Chain this means they might be terrorists as well as state authorities. “Training and Education” is indirectly further specified by aspects out of all other dimensions (except the dimension “Level of Action”), It covers preparedness in the sense that it ensures the qualification of the actors in case of an incident.
Security Chain. “Threat”, “Prevention” and so on. This was decided in the above mentioned workshop (see introduction and chapter 3.1) to stress the system-of-systems character of DECOTESSC1. The other dimensions can serve as guidelines for further structuring. It should be kept in mind that a single MTS cell is defined by a bunch of aspects or sub-aspects where exactly one aspect or sub-aspect has to be taken out of each dimension. An aggregation of MTS cells can be defined in a similar way, where at least one aspect or sub-aspect has to be taken out of each dimension. An example for a MTS cell defined by aspects out of eight dimensions is: Status quo analysis (1st aspect, out of dimension “Level of Action”) of research and development (2nd aspect, out of dimension “Readiness level”) in France (3rd, out of “Geographic Location”) concerning the feasibility (4th) of prevention (5th) of a chemical attack (6th) at a public place (7th) with respect to technology-based techniques, i.e. measurement techniques, communication devices etc. (8th)1. This definition by eight items clarifies for example that within this MTS cell the development of technical equipment is considered, not the actual installed equipment. On the other hand, a glance on other aspects may indicate what themes might deserve attention, too: e.g. not just the feasibility of the equipment under development but also political and legal questions may play a role – another MTS cell, defined by changing the aspect “Feasibility” to “Legal Issues”. It is intended that any conceivable topic concerning CBRNE threat and countermeasures is describable as a part (non-strict subset) of a single MTS cell or a part of an aggregation of MTS cells. The related MTS cells have to be defined by at least one aspect or sub-aspect in each dimension. It should be noted that it is not in the intention of the MTS to address single aspects or the dimensions itself as topics.

Because Tokens and the Platform are based on the Binance Security Chain, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Ethereum blockchain may have a material adverse effect on the Platform or Tokens.
As with other decentralized cryptographic tokens based on the Binance Security Chain, Tokens are susceptible to attacks by miners in the course of validating Tokens transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, including, but not limited, to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, and selfish-mining attacks.
