Delay-based cryptography incorporates a time component into cryptographic operations, making certain computations intentionally time-consuming. This design can deter malicious actions by increasing the cost and time required for attacks. It provides a mechanism to secure protocols against rapid, brute-force attempts.
Context
Delay-based cryptography appears in discussions regarding proof-of-work variations and novel security primitives for blockchain networks. Its application seeks to enhance resistance against denial-of-service attacks and certain forms of economic manipulation. Researchers continue to explore its practical applications in achieving more robust decentralized consensus.
