Security Proof

Definition

A Security Proof is a formal mathematical argument demonstrating that a cryptographic system or protocol meets its stated security properties under specific assumptions. In blockchain and digital asset contexts, these proofs are essential for verifying the robustness of consensus mechanisms, encryption schemes, and smart contracts against various attacks. They provide a rigorous assurance of a system’s resilience and trustworthiness. Such proofs are fundamental for establishing confidence in new technologies.
