Cryptographic Security Guarantees

Definition

Cryptographic Security Guarantees are assurances of data protection and system integrity provided by mathematical algorithms. These guarantees are established through the application of cryptographic techniques, which ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of digital information and transactions. They rely on the computational difficulty of breaking specific mathematical problems, making unauthorized access or alteration practically impossible within current technological limits. Such assurances are foundational to the trustworthiness and reliability of blockchain networks and digital assets.
