Multivariate

Definition ∞ Multivariate refers to systems or analyses that simultaneously involve multiple variables or factors. This approach considers the relationships and interactions among several distinct data points. It is employed when a single variable cannot adequately explain a phenomenon.
Context ∞ In post-quantum cryptography, multivariate polynomial cryptography represents a class of algorithms that depend on the computational difficulty of solving systems of multivariate polynomial equations over finite fields. News in this domain often discusses its potential for securing digital asset transactions against quantum computing threats. Research focuses on its computational properties and security robustness for future blockchain applications.
