Cryptography

Cryptography is the process of converting ordinary text into unintelligible text and vice-versa. It is used to store and transmit data so that only those intended can read and process it. Cryptography protects data from theft or alteration and authenticates users.

Trust

In computer science, trust refers to the generation of authorities or user access/privileges through cryptography. An entity trusts another entity when the first one makes the assumption that the second one will behave exactly as the first entity expects. Trust is predictability. Identification, authentication, accountability, authorization, and availability support confidence in predictability. Trust is a set of binary relationships based on individual identity or unique characteristic validation. A trust model identifies the specific mechanisms necessary to respond to a specific threat profile.

• Zero Trust (ZT) is a cybersecurity paradigm concerned with moving defenses from static, network-based perimeters to a focus on users, assets, and resources.
• Cryptocurrencies use proof of work (PoW) to achieve trust.
• Trusted certificates create secure connections to a server via the Internet.
• Trusted Notifiers
