Primes

• Attestation
  • In cryptography it is digital signatures, X.509 certificate chains, signed software releases, and blockchain inclusion proofs.

    This sourceCanonical reference for digital signatures, hash functions, and the binding of a principal to an artifact via a key, including key-compromise semantics for past versus future signatures.

• Authentication
  • Information security — passwords, hardware tokens, biometrics, certificate chains, and challenge-response protocols that bind a claimed identity to evidence.

    This sourceCanonical reference for identification and entity-authentication protocols — passwords, challenge-response, certificate chains binding a claimed identity to evidence.

• Hashing
  • In cryptography and security it is document-fingerprint digests, message-authentication codes, password hashing, commitment schemes, Merkle trees, content-addressed storage, and digital signatures that sign the hash.

    This sourceStandard reference on cryptographic hash functions — one-wayness, collision-resistance, the avalanche property, the birthday bound, MACs, and Merkle trees.

Verification

This reference passed the adversarial substantiation pipeline: it was checked to exist and to support the claim it is attached to. See how references were verified.
