Summary

In this chapter, we analyzed some of my inventions. These algorithms and protocols were primarily invented to solve some challenges related to public/private encryption systems.

Among these protocols, we first saw MB09, which aimed to become a standard for secure digital payment transactions processed in the telecommunication field.

Then, we examined MBXI, a public/private encryption algorithm that was implemented as an alternative to RSA. We explored how it is possible to use a digital signature with this algorithm and the different signature methods: direct and with an appendix.

Moving on, we explored the last protocol: MBXX. This is an evolution of the MB09 and MBXI protocols to overcome the problem of double-spending and the so-called consensus problem. This protocol could be used in the future for a decentralized payment system as an alternative method to proof of work (or proof of stake or other additional proofs) proposed for the validation of transactions...
