Cryptographic utility refers to the functional application of cryptographic principles to secure and enable operations within digital systems. This includes ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity through encryption, digital signatures, and hashing algorithms. It forms the security bedrock of blockchain technology.
Context
The cryptographic utility of digital assets is paramount for their security and trustless operation. Developments in post-quantum cryptography are a significant area of research, addressing potential future threats to current cryptographic standards and ensuring the long-term resilience of blockchain networks against advanced computational attacks.
