FIDE RESEARCH QUESTION / 02

What would prove that a repair restored security?

A successful command, a clean report and a passing test are distinct observations. None automatically establishes every property needed to close an incident.

Open question
01 / WHAT THE RECORD CAN SAY

Research benchmarks make parts of the repair lifecycle executable. Their checks establish specific outcomes under defined conditions.

02 / WHAT REMAINS OPEN

How much do independent checks reduce false acceptance, and what verification cost is practical? Coverage beyond the tested property remains uncertain.

03 / A MORE DECISIVE TEST

Compare the original acceptance test with independent security and functionality checks. Preserve failed repairs and document which properties each check covers.

PROPOSED TEST · NO RESULT CLAIMED
OBSERVATIONS A STUDY WOULD NEED

What would change the answer?

  1. False acceptance
  2. Functional regressions
  3. Verification cost
  4. Residual uncertainty
