Cryptographic Assurance

Definition

Cryptographic assurance refers to the confidence provided by cryptographic techniques that a system or transaction is secure, authentic, and has not been tampered with. It relies on mathematical principles to guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation of digital information. This assurance is fundamental to the operation of many digital assets and blockchain systems, ensuring that transactions are valid and that participants can trust the integrity of the data. The strength of this assurance is directly tied to the robustness of the underlying cryptographic algorithms employed.
