Verifiable Algorithms

Principle

Verifiable algorithms are computational procedures whose correctness and faithful execution can be mathematically proven, often through cryptographic means, without requiring re-execution of the entire computation. This principle ensures that the output of an algorithm is indeed the result of the specified inputs and logic, even if the computation was performed by an untrusted party. It provides a strong guarantee of integrity and reliability. The verification process is typically significantly faster than the original computation.
