SigScope: Detecting and Understanding Off-Chain Message Signing-related Vulnerabilities in Decentralized Applications

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In Web 3.0, an emerging paradigm of building decentralized applications or DApps is off-chain message signing, which has advantages in performance, cost efficiency, and usability compared to conventional transaction-signing schemes. However, message signing burdens DApp developers with extra coding complexity and message designing, leading to new security risks.
