Immutable security refers to the property of a system or data where information, once recorded, cannot be altered or deleted. In blockchain technology, this is achieved through cryptographic linking of blocks, making past transactions permanent and tamper-proof. This characteristic provides a high degree of data integrity and trustlessness. It forms a core tenet of blockchain’s reliability.
Context
Immutable security is a fundamental concept frequently highlighted in crypto news when discussing the trustworthiness and integrity of blockchain networks and digital assets. Any compromise to this immutability would represent a severe security breach, impacting user confidence and the validity of the ledger. Ongoing efforts focus on maintaining and reinforcing this property against evolving threats.
