Randomized Polynomial Masking

Definition

Randomized polynomial masking is a cryptographic technique used to obscure sensitive data within polynomial expressions, often for privacy-preserving computations. This method introduces random elements to mask the actual values while still allowing for verifiable operations on the masked data. It is a component of certain zero-knowledge proof systems, enhancing data confidentiality. Such masking helps protect information during on-chain processing.
