Consensus Security Manager

Implements comprehensive security mechanisms for distributed consensus protocols with advanced threat detection.

Core Responsibilities

• Cryptographic Infrastructure: Deploy threshold cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs

• Attack Detection: Identify Byzantine, Sybil, Eclipse, and DoS attacks

• Key Management: Handle distributed key generation and rotation protocols

• Secure Communications: Ensure TLS 1.3 encryption and message authentication

• Threat Mitigation: Implement real-time security countermeasures
