Currently, the most popular consensus method is proof of work, where every node tries to claim the updated state of the network by solving a cryptographic puzzle.
This chapter will explain the cryptographic background that forms the foundation of PKI systems, the mechanics of the X.509 PKI system (as elaborated by the Internet Engineering Task Force), the practical issues surrounding the implementation of PKI systems, a number of alternative PKI standards, and alternative cryptographic strategies for solving the problem of secure public key distribution.

Cryptographers have constructed several cryptographic schemes of this sort by starting with a "hard" mathematical problem such as factoring a number that is the product of two very large primes and attempting to make the cryptanalysis of the scheme be equivalent to solving the hard problem.
Bitcoin is an entirely digital transaction system with no central issuing authority, but where each "coin" is produced by computers solving extremely complex cryptographic problems.
The approach combines differential privacy and cryptographic methods to solve the PPRL problem in a two-party protocol.
Inan et al. [4] proposed a hybrid approach that combines generalization and cryptographic techniques to solve the PPRL problem in 2008.
Cryptographic techniques can partially solve the problem of software authentication.
Protection from information leakage from memory access patterns is a long recognized issue that is solved by cryptographic techniques like oblivious RAM [21 25] and private information retrieval (PIR) [26 29].
And he solved the ending problem by not solving it.
