A private blockchain consensus method that relies on the reputation of the "validator" nodes. Proof-of-authority (PoA) differs from proof-of-stake (PoS), which is based on how much crypto is staked.

A blockchain consensus mechanism that is based on the amount of storage in a node. Used in decentralized storage networks, the primary forms of proof-of-storage (PoS) are proof-of-replication (PoRep) ...

Long before the age of quantum computing has even begun, the Internet is entering its post-quantum era. Many people are concerned about future quantum computers’ ability to break the cryptographic ...

One of the four post-quantum computing encryption algorithm standards selected by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for public key encryption is open to side-channel attacks ...

Following six years of development, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has released draft standards for three algorithms that can resist future attacks by quantum computers. The U.S.

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

Traditional cryptocurrency mining is not the only way for passive income in the digital asset market. There are other alternatives to look out for. For example, cryptocurrency staking can be a source ...
