Cryptographic Models

Definition

Cryptographic models are mathematical structures and algorithms providing fundamental security for digital systems. These models define the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of cryptography, ensuring data security, user privacy, and transaction immutability within blockchain networks. They include schemes for secure communication, digital signatures, and proof systems that validate information without revealing its content. The selection and implementation of these models directly determine the robustness and trust properties of a decentralized system.
