Combine Permute

Definition

“Combine Permute” describes a cryptographic operation where data elements are first grouped or merged and then rearranged according to a specific permutation. This process is often used in secure multi-party computation or zero-knowledge proofs to obscure the original data structure while maintaining computational integrity. It helps in constructing complex privacy-preserving protocols by manipulating data in a verifiable yet hidden manner. This operation is fundamental to certain advanced cryptographic designs.
