In two sentences, the theoretical cybersecurity essence of Bitcoin is that it is literally a distributed open source high integrity cross domain solution (CDS) that implements the 30 year old Clark-Wilson Security Model to protect a transaction ledger, and Bitcoin happens to be the 1st recognized solution of the computer science Byzantine General’s Problem.
