Dear friends,
Request For Criticism about what I've written:
Current blockchains are all genesis-block based, which means they are
ever-growing structures. Aside of being under the effects of an
elastic-gum force that complicates their scalability in size, there exist problems scaling on addresses or scaling on bandwith. What
touches to cryptography comes straight when dealing of ever-growing
structures. Such a buried pile of layers of information requires
consideration because it contains cryptography of past times. There
are two problems with that. 1.- can expire secrets. 2.- The runtime
software must be equiped with all cypher-suites used in the past,
including those too old to rely on who were already cracked, broken.
A challenge is the
to design a platform that does not depend on cypher-suites that were
needed in the past. Once a new encryption technology deprecates
another, the platform must be able to replace the cypher-suite and
forget about the previous one.
