Proof of Authority
The consensus mechanism used in the parity launch scripts is called Proof of Authority (PoA).
PoA consensus is reached by referring to a list of validators (referred to as authorities when they are linked to physical entities).
Since PoA doesn’t require any mining, it’s an extremely responsive mechanism (little to no delay after submitting a transaction) and it doesn’t require manipulation to start mining (“mining” starts immediately).
