Ajtai Commitments

Definition

Ajtai Commitments are a cryptographic primitive enabling a party to commit to a value while keeping it hidden, with the ability to later reveal it. This scheme relies on the computational difficulty of certain lattice problems, providing a strong security foundation. These commitments permit the verifier to confirm the committed value’s integrity upon revelation without learning the value beforehand. Their construction ensures both hiding and binding properties, which are crucial for secure digital interactions.
