Cryptographic Stack

Definition

A cryptographic stack refers to the layered set of cryptographic algorithms and protocols used to secure digital systems. This arrangement typically includes various security components, from fundamental hashing functions and encryption algorithms to more complex protocols for key exchange and digital signatures. Each layer builds upon the security properties of those below it, collectively providing data confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Its design is critical for the robust operation of blockchain networks and secure digital asset transactions.
