Cryptographic Integrity

Definition

Cryptographic Integrity denotes the assurance that data has not been altered or corrupted in an unauthorized manner, particularly during transmission or storage. It relies on cryptographic techniques, such as hashing and digital signatures, to detect any modifications, thereby guaranteeing the authenticity and immutability of digital information. In the context of digital assets and blockchain technology, maintaining cryptographic integrity is fundamental for verifying transaction validity and ensuring the trustworthiness of ledger entries.
