Definition ∞ Commitment Hiding is a cryptographic technique enabling a party to commit to a value without immediate disclosure. The value is revealed later to prove consistency, ensuring fairness in decentralized protocols. This method prevents early exposure of sensitive information.
Context ∞ Commitment hiding schemes are instrumental in privacy-preserving blockchain applications and secure protocol execution. They mitigate issues like front-running or malicious manipulation by obscuring transaction details until a predetermined reveal time. This contributes to the integrity of various cryptographic processes.
