Definition ∞ Temporal Correlation Analysis is a method used to identify relationships or dependencies between events or data points based on their timing. In the context of blockchain and cybersecurity, this involves examining the timestamps of transactions, network events, or system logs to link seemingly unrelated activities. This technique can help de-anonymize users or identify coordinated malicious operations.
Context ∞ This analytical technique is increasingly employed by blockchain intelligence firms and law enforcement agencies to enhance traceability and combat illicit activities in digital asset markets. By correlating transaction timing with other observable events, investigators can often construct more complete profiles of pseudonymous actors. The ongoing development of such analysis tools presents both opportunities for security and challenges for user privacy.
