Definition ∞ Cryptographic layering involves applying multiple distinct cryptographic primitives or protocols in a sequential or nested manner to enhance security. This method adds redundancy and resilience against various attack vectors. Each layer provides a separate security guarantee, making the overall system more robust.
Context ∞ Cryptographic layering is a fundamental security principle in blockchain and digital asset design, particularly in securing communication and transaction integrity. The ongoing research in this area seeks to optimize the balance between security strength and computational efficiency. Future advancements aim to address post-quantum cryptography challenges by introducing new protective layers.
