Temporal Commitments are cryptographic constructs that bind a piece of data to a specific future time, making it impossible to reveal or alter the data before that designated moment. They allow a party to commit to information now, with the guarantee that it can only be opened or disclosed at a later, verifiable time. This mechanism introduces time-based constraints into cryptographic protocols. They ensure data remains concealed until a predetermined point.
Context
Temporal commitments are relevant in discussions about secure multi-party computation, verifiable delay functions, and certain auction or voting protocols in decentralized systems. News articles concerning fair ordering of transactions or resistance to front-running attacks might reference concepts related to temporal commitments. Their application aims to prevent premature information disclosure and ensure fairness in time-sensitive digital interactions.
Proof of Time is a novel cryptographic primitive that uses Zero-Knowledge proofs to verify elapsed time while preserving the confidentiality of the initial event's timestamp.
