Zero-Day Vulnerability

Zero-Knowledge Consensus Protocol refers to a cryptographic method that allows one party to prove knowledge of a secret without revealing it.

A Zero-Day Vulnerability refers to a security flaw in software that is unknown to the developers and has not yet been patched. When this vulnerability is discovered, it can be exploited by hackers before the developers can fix it, hence the term “zero-day.” In the realm of digital currencies, such vulnerabilities can be particularly dangerous. They can allow attackers to execute malicious actions, such as stealing coins, manipulating transactions, or taking control of wallets. Since these vulnerabilities are not yet known to the public or the software maintainers, they can pose significant risks. Hackers often seek to exploit these weaknesses for financial gain, leading to potential losses for users. To mitigate the risks associated with zero-day vulnerabilities, constant monitoring and security audits are essential. Regular updates and prompt patching of software can help protect users from these hidden threats.
