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.[1]

Trust

  • In computer science, trust refers to the generation of authorities or user access/privileges through cryptography.
  • Zero Trust (ZT) is a cybersecurity paradigm concerned with moving defenses from static, network-based perimeters to a focus on users, assets, and resources.[2]
  • Cryptocurrencies use proof of work (PoW) to achieve trust.
  • Trusted certificates create secure connections to a server via the Internet.
  • Trusted Notifiers
