Cryptographic Compilation

Definition

Cryptographic compilation is the process of transforming high-level code into a lower-level, executable format while incorporating cryptographic assurances. This technique ensures the integrity, privacy, or verifiable execution of the compiled program. It involves integrating cryptographic primitives, such as zero-knowledge proofs or homomorphic encryption, directly into the compilation pipeline. The output is code that can be run with specific cryptographic properties preserved or verifiable.
