Distributed Ledger Security

Definition

Distributed ledger security refers to the measures and protocols that protect the integrity and availability of data stored across a decentralized network. This encompasses cryptographic techniques, consensus mechanisms, and network design principles that collectively safeguard against unauthorized alterations, data breaches, and system failures. It ensures that all participants maintain an accurate and consistent record of transactions. The robust security of these ledgers is paramount for trust in digital asset operations.
