remove duplicate, unlisted countermeasures #132

Closed kristovatlas closed 8 years ago

kristovatlas commented 8 years ago

The following 2 countermeasures (CM17 & CM18) are currently unlisted in the threat model, left over from the previous version, and are now deprecated by criteria.

  1. CM17 (d823f2dd9e93f8064d89e170ae95ae60743bf178825f7a14ae35dcdc9f4911aa): Only query one address at a time from a specific connection context
  2. CM18 (3585e1d272b81ae6721123b112a977350b60d118d1394e5f01b94aaf13557cbc): Query multiple addresses at once using a technique that returns false positives

This was a 3-part countermeasure in the previous edition:

It is now replaced by:

Basically these two countermeasures were turned into criteria.

I'll make a PR for this, and then I just need 1 or more ACK's on the PR before merging since this is an obvious edit that is in line with our previous discussions.

This is completely fulfilled by the merged PR.
