Dynamic Commitments

Definition

Dynamic commitments refer to cryptographic schemes where a party can commit to a value at one point in time and later reveal it, with the ability to modify the committed value under specific, controlled conditions. Unlike static commitments, which bind a party to a fixed value, dynamic commitments offer flexibility while still maintaining computational security. This property allows for adaptable protocols where information can be updated without compromising the integrity of the initial commitment. It provides a mechanism for adjustable cryptographic proofs.
