Cryptographic Guarantee

Definition

A cryptographic guarantee uses mathematical principles to ensure the security and integrity of digital information. This refers to the assurances provided by cryptographic primitives and protocols, such as hash functions, digital signatures, and encryption, that data remains confidential, authentic, and unaltered. These guarantees are foundational to blockchain technology, securing transactions, verifying identities, and maintaining the immutability of distributed ledgers. They provide a high level of trust without relying on intermediaries.
