Technique mainly employed for factorization based cryptosystems to hide information. Usually blinding involves using a multiplicative homomorphic property of the cipher, it may be used to realize blind-signatures. It's also commonly used to protect cryptosystems like RSA and Rabin-Williams against timing-attacks.
