The CPU is the brain of the computer. Its job is to take the different parts of a computer to work well together.
Cryptoanalysis
Process of making secret information, with zero access to it, readable through studies.
Cryptojacking
The term refers to the act of mining cryptocurrencies from someone else’s computer without them knowing. It can be done by secretly installing a program on a victim’s computer to mine cryptocurrency.

Ciphertext

Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)
Structure built in a way so that it never repeats, going in a single direction. It can be seen as an algorithm or a checklist, where you need to go from step 1, 2 and 3 to reach step 4.
Decentralised Autonomous Organation (DAO)
It’s a leaderless organisation that runs with the support of a network of computers. It works with no central location as it functions on a network of computers, which makes it a decentralised network.

Decentralised
A system whose elements are spread among different locations and the future of the system will be decided from many different points. Its independence is preserved across the network.
Decentralised Autonomous Organation (DAO)
It describes a leaderless organisation supported by many computers, forming a network. A central location destroys the idea of being decentralised, and it is avoided by running on a network of computers.
Decentralised Exchange (DEX)
A decentralised exchange is the place where users exchange and trade cryptocurrencies directly or peer-to-peer. Here, there’s no need for a company to hold their money or crypto for them.
