The Verification Dilemma in computer security: a game-theoretic perspective — •Jens Christian Claussen and Aad van Moorsel — School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK

Verification protocols, as the Proof-of-Work (PoW) in blockchains, are essential mechanisms to ensure security in distributed networks. The computational costs of verification can also be organized in a shared way through special users, called miners. It has been pointed out that a Verifier's Dilemma arises between verifying and non-verifying miners [1]. Here we analyze the verification problem from game theory, identifying it as a strategic dilemma similar to a public goods game.
