FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF CRYPTOGRAPHY RELEVANT TO CIVIL LEGAL RELATIONS
Keywords:
cryptography, civil law, digital signatures, smart contracts, data protection, legal relationsAbstract
This article examines the fundamental principles of cryptography and their relevance to civil legal relations. Through a comprehensive literature review, it explores the intersection of cryptographic technologies and civil law, focusing on key areas such as digital signatures, smart contracts, and data protection. The analysis reveals the growing importance of cryptography in ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation of digital transactions and communications in legal contexts. The article concludes by highlighting the need for legal frameworks to adapt to the evolving cryptographic landscape while balancing security and privacy concerns.
