== 6.1 Validation Approach ==

The validation of stakeholder requirements will be conducted through:

# Technical Validation

* Prototype implementations
* Unit testing
* Performance testing
* Security audits
* Privacy analysis

<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>User Validation</li></ol>

* Persona feedback
* User testing
* Usability studies
* Feature validation

<ol start="3" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>Operational Validation</li></ol>

* Network simulations
* Load testing
* Stress testing
* Recovery testing

<ol start="4" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>Security Validation</li></ol>

* Threat modeling
* Penetration testing
* Protocol analysis
* Attack simulations
* Formal verification
