Dusk’s security leans on some pretty advanced cryptography, all tailored for real-world finance. The team broke new ground with things like the first Rust version of PLONK, and they keep pushing forward with research into PlonKup and FORT. They use tough cryptographic hashes like Poseidon and Reinforced Concrete, along with tried-and-true tools like BLS12-381, Schnorr, JubJub, and sparse Merkle trees. The result? You get privacy that meets institutional standards plus fast, verifiable execution you can trust.
