Commitment Scheme Efficiency

Definition

Commitment scheme efficiency evaluates how effectively a cryptographic commitment system operates in terms of computational resources and data size. A commitment scheme allows one party to commit to a value without revealing it, later disclosing the value and proving the commitment. High efficiency means fewer computations and smaller data payloads are needed for these operations. This is vital for scalability and practicality in zero-knowledge proofs and other cryptographic applications.
