sitoutumissaiteitä
Sitoutumissaiteitä, often translated as commitment statements or pledge strings, are a cryptographic concept used to ensure that a party cannot reveal their commitment to a secret value without also revealing the secret value itself. This is crucial in various cryptographic protocols, preventing a party from changing their mind after seeing the outcome of a situation and then retroactively claiming they had committed to a different value.
The core idea behind a sitoutumissaite involves a one-way function. A party first generates a secret value,
This mechanism is fundamental in applications like zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, and digital signatures. For
