Correct Node Detection

Definition

Correct node detection involves identifying and validating legitimate participants within a decentralized network, distinguishing them from malicious or malfunctioning entities. This process is critical for maintaining the integrity and security of distributed systems, especially in environments where trust is minimized. Mechanisms often rely on cryptographic proofs, reputation systems, or consensus algorithms to ascertain node authenticity. It safeguards against Sybil attacks and other network disruptions.
