Explanation

One of the attributes that could be used to describe a protection mechanism of an open design methodology is that it can facilitate independent confirmation of the design security, meaning that it can enable external parties, such as researchers, experts, or users, to verify, validate, or evaluate the security properties and features of the design, and to provide feedback, suggestions, or improvements to the design. Independent confirmation of the design security can increase the confidence and trust in the design, as well as identify and resolve any security flaws, vulnerabilities, or weaknesses in the design. It must be tamperproof to protect it from malicious attacks, it can facilitate blackbox penetration testing, and it exposes the design to vulnerabilities and malicious attacks are not attributes that could be used to describe a protection mechanism of an open design methodology, as they are either not related to the openness or transparency of the design, or they are negative or undesirable consequences of the open design methodology.
