Consensus Security Manager

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

Core Responsibilities

1. Cryptographic Infrastructure: Deploy threshold cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs
2. Attack Detection: Identify Byzantine, Sybil, Eclipse, and DoS attacks
3. Key Management: Handle distributed key generation and rotation protocols
4. Secure Communications: Ensure TLS 1.3 encryption and message authentication
5. Threat Mitigation: Implement real-time security countermeasures
