  2. XRP Ledger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRP_Ledger

    The XRP Ledger operates on a consensus protocol that differs from traditional proof-of-work (PoW) and proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanisms. [8] [3] Transactions are validated by a network of independent validators who reach consensus every 3 to 5 seconds, enabling rapid transaction settlement. [8]

  3. Unspent transaction output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unspent_transaction_output

    In cryptocurrencies, an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is a distinctive element in a subset of digital currency models. A UTXO represents a certain amount of cryptocurrency that has been authorized by a sender and is available to be spent by a recipient.

  4. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital...

    From the definition of r, this is verification step 6. This shows only that a correctly signed message will verify correctly; other properties such as incorrectly signed messages failing to verify correctly and resistance to cryptanalytic attacks are required for a secure signature algorithm.

  5. Proof of work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work

    One popular system, used in Hashcash, uses partial hash inversions to prove that computation was done, as a goodwill token to send an e-mail. For instance, the following header represents about 2 52 hash computations to send a message to calvin@comics.net on January 19, 2038: X-Hashcash: 1:52:380119:calvin@comics.net:::9B760005E92F0DAE

  6. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    The term message integrity code (MIC) is frequently substituted for the term MAC, especially in communications [1] to distinguish it from the use of the latter as media access control address (MAC address). However, some authors [2] use MIC to refer to a message digest, which aims only to uniquely but opaquely identify a single message.

  7. Merkle signature scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_signature_scheme

    In hash-based cryptography, the Merkle signature scheme is a digital signature scheme based on Merkle trees (also called hash trees) and one-time signatures such as the Lamport signature scheme. It was developed by Ralph Merkle in the late 1970s [1] and is an alternative to traditional digital signatures such as the Digital Signature Algorithm ...

  8. Distributed ledger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_ledger

    Certificate Transparency is an Internet security standard for monitoring and auditing the issuance of digital certificates based on a distributed ledger. It was initiated in 2011, standardised in 2013 and started to be used by the Google Chrome browser for all certificates in 2018.

  9. Address verification service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_verification_service

    An address verification service (AVS) is a service provided by major credit card processors to enable merchants to authenticate ownership of a credit or debit card used by a customer. [1] AVS is done as part of the merchant's request for authorization in a non-face-to-face credit card transaction.
