Tamper Resistant Outcome

Definition

A tamper resistant outcome is a result or record that is extremely difficult to alter or falsify after its creation. In the context of blockchain and digital assets, this refers to the inherent immutability of data once recorded on a distributed ledger. Cryptographic hashing and consensus mechanisms ensure that past transactions or states cannot be retroactively changed without invalidating subsequent blocks and requiring network-wide collusion. This property is fundamental to the trustworthiness and security of blockchain systems.
