Rerandomizable Encryption

Definition

Rerandomizable Encryption is a cryptographic technique that permits a ciphertext to be transformed into a new, indistinguishable ciphertext that encrypts the same plaintext, without requiring access to the original encryption key. This process maintains the confidentiality of the underlying data while altering its appearance, enhancing privacy by breaking links between ciphertexts. It is particularly useful in scenarios requiring secure delegation of computation or anonymous credential systems. This method adds a layer of unlinkability to encrypted information.
