Coinbase has formed an independent advisory board of cryptography and quantum experts to evaluate long-term risks that quantum computing could pose to Bitcoin and blockchain security.
A Merkle tree is a cryptographic data structure that organizes transactions for secure and efficient verification on a blockchain.
A public key is a cryptographic code used to receive cryptocurrency and verify digital signatures.
Hashing is the cryptographic process of converting data into a fixed-length output to secure blockchain transactions.
Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to perform advanced computations and may impact blockchain security.
Cryptography is the use of mathematical methods to secure blockchain data, transactions, and digital asset ownership.
Zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic techniques that verify information without revealing the underlying data.
