Byzantine Fault Tolerance: A distributed system’s ability to tolerate faults or failures that may occur in its communication network or system components.
Homomorphic Encryption: A type of encryption that allows computations to be performed on ciphertext, enabling data to be processed without being decrypted first.
Sharding: A technique used in database architecture that partitions data horizontally across multiple servers, allowing for faster and more efficient data retrieval.
Adiabatic Quantum Computing: A type of quantum computing that uses the adiabatic theorem to solve complex optimization problems by slowly transitioning the quantum system from an initial state to a final state.
Consensus Algorithm: A mechanism used in distributed systems to ensure that all nodes agree on the same state, even in the presence of failures or network partitions.
Convolutional Neural Network: A type of neural network commonly used in image and video processing, which uses convolutional layers to extract features from the input data.
Dark Web: The part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines and can only be accessed using special software and protocols, often used for illicit activities.
Hyperledger: An open-source blockchain platform for developing and deploying enterprise-level distributed ledgers and smart contracts.
Quantum Key Distribution: A method of secure communication that uses quantum mechanics principles to distribute encryption keys between two parties, providing provable security against eavesdropping.
Solidity: A high-level programming language used for developing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.
