Simple Payment Verification (SPV)
Simple Payment Verification (SPV) allows users to verify blockchain transactions efficiently without a full node, leveraging block headers and Merkle trees.
Signature
Signatures in cryptocurrency ensure transaction security and integrity by using cryptographic proofs tied to the sender's private key, preventing fraud and unauthorized access.
Sidechain
A sidechain is a separate blockchain connected to its parent blockchain, enhancing scalability, security, and functionality through a two-way peg mechanism.
Sidecar Chain
A sidecar chain is a secondary blockchain running parallel to a primary one, enhancing functionality, scalability, and security in cryptocurrency networks.
Shill
A shill in cryptocurrency promotes digital currencies to manipulate market sentiment for personal gain, often leading to artificial price inflation and investor losses.
Shielded Transaction
Shielded transactions in cryptocurrency obscure transaction details using advanced cryptographic techniques like zk-SNARKs, enhancing privacy and security.
Sharding
Sharding is a method of partitioning blockchain networks into smaller shards, enhancing scalability and efficiency by enabling parallel transaction processing.
Shamir’s Secret Sharing
Shamir's Secret Sharing enhances cryptocurrency security by splitting private keys into shares, requiring a threshold to reconstruct the original secret.
SHA-3
SHA-3, a cryptographic hash function by NIST, ensures high security, flexibility, and efficiency, playing a crucial role in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
