Protection of Digital Transactions - Part 1
Today I am going to discuss digital transactions and how to protect them. This is an elaborated topic so I decided to continue this topic in two sections.
At its core, blockchain is a circulated ledger that records transactions across multiple computers, known as nodes, which collectively maintain the integrity and transparency of the network. This decentralized nature eliminates the need for a central authority, making it more resilient to attacks and single points of failure. Transactions registered on the blockchain are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or deleted once validated, ensuring the integrity of the data.
In an increasingly interconnected world, where digital transactions are becoming the norm, ensuring the security and integrity of these transactions is of paramount importance. Blockchain technology has appeared as a powerful solution to address these concerns, offering robust security measures that protect against fraud, tampering, and unauthorized access. By leveraging decentralized networks and cryptographic techniques, blockchain security has the potential to revolutionize the way we exchange value and trust in the digital age.
One of the key security features of blockchain technology is the use of "cryptographic algorithms". Transactions are secured through the use of public-key cryptography, where each participant in the network has a unique pair of cryptographic keys: a private key and a public key. The private key should be secret and used to sign transactions, while the public key is shared with others to verify the authenticity of the transactions. This cryptographic infrastructure ensures that only authorized parties can access and modify the data, providing a high level of data protection.
Additionally, blockchain networks use consensus mechanisms to validate transactions and reach an agreement on the state of the ledger. The most widely known consensus algorithm is Proof of Work (PoW), used by Bitcoin. PoW requires participants, known as miners, to solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and add blocks to the blockchain. This process not only ensures the validity of transactions but also protects the network against malicious attacks, as it would need an expert to control the majority of the computing power to tamper with the blockchain.
