Terminology

The father of blind signatures, David Chaum published a research paper in 1982 that would later develop into the first anonymous cryptocurrency, “Digicash.” Thanks to his contribution, blockchain technology has progressed significantly over time. In a nutshell, blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger maintained by a peer-to-peer network worldwide. Cryptography allows for secure data, transfer, storage, and immutable tamper-proof transactions. It is an ideal solution for maintaining the integrity of machine learning models and training data- Blockchain is beneficial for AI Security.

Cloud Computing, also known as “The Cloud,” refers to accessing servers, software, and databases over the internet. Cloud Computing alleviates the need to manage physical data servers or run software applications on one’s device. Computing services, such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence, and applications, are delivered through the internet via cloud servers in data centers all over the world. The cloud enables users to access files and applications from almost any device, as the computing and storage take place on servers in a data center instead of locally on the user’s device.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computers and machines that can do tasks previously only possible for humans, like problem-solving, decision-making, and learning. Its origins date back to the late 1940s and have come a long way since then, rapidly advancing and transforming many aspects of work and industry, as well as how we communicate and approach tasks with the potential to eliminate some.

Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. This allows quantum computers to solve certain problems much faster than classical computers. A classical computer uses bits to store information and perform calculations. A bit can have a value of either 0 or 1. In contrast, a quantum computer uses quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time.
