Compressing Commitment

Definition

Compressing commitment refers to a cryptographic technique that reduces the size of data required to verify a commitment without losing its security properties. This method is vital in zero-knowledge proofs and other privacy-preserving protocols, allowing for more efficient verification on blockchains. It involves mathematical constructions that consolidate a large set of data points into a compact, fixed-size representation. This efficiency improvement significantly lowers computational costs and storage requirements for proof systems.
