  According to experts, one third of all IT vulnerabilities today are due to
inadequate software verification. Internal program processes are not
sufficiently secured against manipulation by attackers, especially if access
has been gained. There is a lack of internal control instances that can monitor
and control program flows. Especially when a software vulnerability becomes
known, quick action is required, whereby the consequences for an individual
application are often not foreseeable. With our approach (B)LOCKBOX, software
building blocks act as verified entities within a transaction-based blockchain
network. Source Code, binaries and application execution become supervised.
Unwanted interference and manipulation are prevented by the integrity of the
distributed system.
