# 密码学与区块链安全

**工程领域从来没有黑科技；密码学不仅是工程。**

密码学作为核心的安全技术在信息科技领域的重要性无需多言。离开现代密码学和信息安全技术，人类社会将无法全面步入信息时代。区块链和分布式账本中大量使用了密码学和安全技术的最新成果，特别是身份认证和隐私保护相关技术。

从数学定理到工程实践，密码学和信息安全所涉及的知识体系十分繁杂。本章将介绍与区块链密切相关的安全知识，包括 Hash 算法与摘要、加密算法、数字签名和证书、PKI 体系、Merkle 树、布隆过滤器、同态加密等。通过本章，读者可以了解常见安全技术体系，以及如何实现信息安全的核心要素：机密性、完整性、可认证性和不可抵赖性，为后续理解区块链的设计奠定基础。
