Input Consistency

Definition

Input Consistency ensures that all data provided to a computational process, particularly within a distributed system or cryptographic proof, remains unaltered and correct throughout its execution. This property is vital for maintaining the integrity and reliability of smart contracts and blockchain operations. Any deviation in input data could lead to incorrect results or system vulnerabilities. Achieving input consistency is a core challenge in designing secure and verifiable decentralized applications. It guarantees that a computation begins with the intended and agreed-upon parameters.
