**Affirmed position.** Blockchain Cryptography and Federated Learning: Enhancing Trust, Privacy and Security in the Digital Era presents the following source proposition: This article includes an extensive review of how blockchain technology, advanced cryptography tools, and federated learning can be used to create secure and privacypreserving approaches to cybersecurity. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Cryptographic hashes increase blockchain security and remove the trust barriers in agency relationships that otherwise require monitoring of agents and generate agency costs. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
