Cryptographic Broadcast

Definition

Cryptographic broadcast refers to the secure and verifiable dissemination of information to multiple recipients using cryptographic techniques. This process ensures that messages are authenticated, their integrity is preserved, and often that their origin cannot be repudiated. It frequently involves digital signatures and hash functions to confirm the authenticity and unaltered state of the broadcasted data. Such methods are crucial for maintaining trust and security in distributed systems, including blockchain networks.
