Experimental evaluation of digitally-verifiable photonic computing for blockchain and cryptocurrency. (arXiv:2205.08512v1 [cs.ET])
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
As blockchain technology and cryptocurrency become increasingly mainstream,
ever-increasing energy costs required to maintain the computational power
running these decentralized platforms create a market for more energy-efficient
hardware. Photonic cryptographic hash functions, which use photonic integrated
circuits to accelerate computation, promise energy efficiency for verifying
transactions and mining in a cryptonetwork. Like many analog computing
approaches, however, current proposals for photonic cryptographic hash
functions that promise similar security guarantees as Bitcoin are susceptible
to systematic error, so multiple devices may …
