Abstract:
Various embodiments are provided for managing cryptographic bottlenecks for distributed multi-signature blockchain contracts in a computing environment. One or more cryptographic bottlenecks of cryptographic requests at a cryptographic accelerator may be resolved by switching between a blockchain node cryptographic library and an accelerator cryptographic library upon a number of the cryptographic requests at the accelerator exceeding a defined threshold.
