Privacy Amplification

Definition

Privacy amplification is a cryptographic technique used to enhance the secrecy of information by processing a weakly private secret into a stronger, more private one. In digital asset systems, it can be applied to obfuscate transaction details or user identities beyond basic encryption. This process typically involves combining the initial secret with random data, making it exponentially harder for an adversary to deduce the original information. It strengthens the confidentiality of sensitive blockchain data.
