Decentralized Security

Summary

Decentralized security refers to security mechanisms that distribute control and decision-making across a network rather than relying on a single central authority.

Detailed Description

In a decentralized security model, security measures are integrated into the architecture of decentralized systems like blockchain networks. This approach mitigates risks associated with central points of failure and enhances resilience against attacks. By distributing trust across multiple nodes, decentralized security can provide more transparent and tamper-proof protection mechanisms that are critical for maintaining the integrity of decentralized applications (dApps) and networks.
