Abstract

Bug bounty processes have remained broadly unchanged since their inception. Existing literature recognises that current methods generate intensive resource demands, impacting upon programme effectiveness. This paper proposes a novel implementation which aims to alleviate resource demands and mitigate inherent issues through gamification. This incorporates the use of additional crowdsourcing of vulnerability verification and reproduction by peers, allowing the client organisation to reduce overheads at the cost of rewarding participants. The system has the potential to be used in Higher Education Institutions which typically face resource and budget constraints.
