Timelock encryption presents a noteworthy solution for securing Bitcoin transactions, specifically addressing the scenario where the private key's exposure is delayed until after the rightful owner has had the opportunity to reclaim their funds through a subsequent transaction. This method offers an innovative approach to enhance the security and integrity of transactions by controlling the timing of private key disclosures.
