Concept Codex

2 entries

SHA-256

concept

A cryptographic hash function that outputs a fixed 256-bit value.

  • Metaphor: A digital fingerprint of data that is impossible to forge.
  • Example: The foundation of Bitcoin's proof-of-work.
  • Misconception: That it can be reversed to find the original input.
  • Risk: Vulnerable to quantum computing in the distant future.

Merkle Trees

concept

A tree structure where every leaf node is a hash of a data block.

  • Metaphor: A recursive summary that allows verifying a single leaf without the whole tree.
  • Example: Used in Bitcoin to efficiently verify transactions.
  • Misconception: That they are only useful for blockchains.
  • Risk: Tree depth can impact performance.
