Research on Commitment Scheme
承诺方案的研究

Commitment scheme, which is an important and applicable cryptology primitive, plays an important role in construction of cryptology protocols such as zero-knowledge proof, secure multi-party computation, electronic cash and electronic voting. In this paper, we introduce applied backgrounds, definitions, classifications, constructions of commitment schemes, and their important roles in the cryptology field. Simultaneously, we also elaborate current research spots on commitment schemes in the cryptology field.
