Categorización de protocolos de seguridad en criptomonedas para mitigar ataques informáticos: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

In this article, a systematic investigation was carried out about the security protocols of the different cryptocurrencies, studying their processes and their vulnerabilities, in addition to opening a door to researchers who seek topics related to consensus algorithms which make the protocols of cryptocurrencies. The objective is to categorize the security protocols that the different cryptocurrency systems have to mitigate risks in transactions. The role played by different security protocols such as proof of work (PoW) or proof of stake (PoS) among others and their effectiveness in the block chain and the security they provide. The exploratory method was used to identify the most important studies for conducting the research. A search string was used with the main keywords and inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined for the choice of the primary studies and as results we have the categorization of the main consensus protocols.
