Adversarial Network Model

Definition ∞ An adversarial network model describes a system where distinct components actively compete to improve overall performance or security. One part generates outputs while another evaluates them, aiming to differentiate genuine from synthetic data. Within blockchain, this approach informs systems designed to withstand attacks by anticipating and defending against malicious actors. This iterative competition drives system robustness and resilience.
Context ∞ In artificial intelligence applications for digital assets, adversarial network models, like Generative Adversarial Networks, are discussed for creating synthetic data or detecting fraudulent transactions. For blockchain security, this model informs the design of consensus mechanisms that resist various attack vectors. Continuous research focuses on improving the stability and effectiveness of these competing systems.
