Cryptographic Receipts

Definition

Cryptographic receipts are digitally signed records confirming the occurrence of a specific transaction or event. These receipts utilize cryptographic techniques to ensure their authenticity, integrity, and immutability. They provide verifiable proof of an action, such as a payment or data exchange, without necessarily revealing all transaction details. Such receipts are crucial for auditing, non-repudiation, and building trust in digital systems.
