Blockchain security
Derived node: assembled mechanically from the claims carrying blockchain-security. A roster, not an adjudicated definition.
Every claim under this term
- 2959730-020 : Cryptographic hashing makes blockchain manipulation immediately detectable because the hash incorporates all previous transactions, so that even a single digit change produces a different hash value.
- 3071378-005 : Because each new block's hash value is generated from all previous transactions, the smallest change to the blockchain produces a different hash value, which makes any form of manipulation immediately
- 3128900-019 : The protocol architecture together with its incentive structure is what produces enhanced 51 percent attack resistance, which the author claims exceeds prior reputation verification attempts in both d
- 3227933-020 : Anonymity in blockchain organizations makes them prone to Sybil attacks and 51 percent attacks, and anonymity combined with autonomy has already produced hacks.
- 3782198-032 : Proof of stake carries an unresolved failure mode: if anyone devises a clever algorithm for hijacking the block producer selection process, the network would fail.
- 4900878-034 : Quantum computing cuts both ways for blockchain: it can raise the efficiency and security of blockchain networks, but safeguarding those systems against the threats it also creates depends on research
